Barefoot books is a great way to expose your children to different cultures. The way they do this is through classic tales and folk tales from cultures including Islamic and African. I had the pleasure of reviewing a few books recently, which cover a wide spectrum of themes, settings, and writer backgrounds.

First up is Winter Shadow which is the story of a little girl who finds and befriends a wolf cub. This story is written by Richard Knight, who was inspired by nature and includes nature as a predominant theme in all his writings. This book is a semi-chapter book. There are chapters but they are short, good for young readers looking to start getting into reading longer, more intricate stories.

Tales of Mystery and Magic is up next. This book is a collection of short stories from all over the globe all involving some darker, more mysterious tales. These stories include the Chilean “Two Little Elves”, the Scottish “Who Live in the Skull?” and the West African “Hunter’s Five Sons”. It’s sort of a tales from the Crypt UN edition, LOL- and not super scary, good for school aged kids.

The Wise Fool is a book of Islamic Fables. I love big books of fables and tall tales. These books are great because they usually have one element which is accessible to children, while the rest of the story spins in ways barely imaginable. This particular book does similar, has lots of tales and stories most will and do not know, including myself. What a great way to open our children’s eyes to a new culture, or teach them more about others around us and the culture they come from.

The final book is We’re Sailing Down the Nile: a Journey though Egypt. This books follows travelers down the Nile. I know you are surprised- please buy the book if you want to know how it ends, LOL. This book is packed with pages meant to provoke questions and curiosity out of children. As a bedtime story it doesn’t work quite so well, but as a story told during story time or in a mentally stimulating time of day, this is perfect.

All Barefoot books have beautiful detailed illustrations and pages, brightly colored and eye catching when appropriate or dark and mysterious when not. Plus? They educate, inspire, bring out curiosity, and help teach our kids to be better world citizens- and Americans at that. This is, after all, a melting pot/salad bowl of a country- lets help our kids learn as much as they can, and be inspired to travel, read, and learn even more.
