My Barefoot Story 

How I got here

I joined Barefoot Books as a stallholder in June 07. I am astonished (and very pleased) at how well it has gone since then. I have completely fallen in love with the books and gifts. I've tried quite a few network marketing companies over the years but this company is something else. The support network is fantastic, like one big Barefoot family!

Feeling Good 

success! 2007-2008

I was the top Sponsor for the month of August. Have received both of my prizes, a signed copy of One City Two Brothers, and a signed copy of Motherbridge of Love. They are both so beautiful and something for me to keep forever.

And..I am the top newcomer for the Summer Challenge (July, August and September). Have now received a copy of all the new titles for the Autumn. I love this job!

Now I've won a trip to the South of France in Spring 2008. I had the top personal sales and I was the top selling newcomer in the UK for the Oct-Dec season.

And..I've won all the new titles for Spring as top sponsor (Jan-Mar) What an amazing year this has been!

Review 

Mama Panya's Pancakes

On market day, Mama Panya's son Adika invites everyone he sees to a pancake dinner. How will Mama Panya ever feed them all? This clever and heartwarming story about Kenyan village life teaches the importance of sharing, even when you have little to give. Price £5.99

Review 

Catch That Goat

Ayoka has been left in charge of the family goat, but within minutes it has vanished! As Ayoka searches the streets of town, she sees how much trouble a runaway goat can cause among the market stalls. One thing after another disappears, and when Ayoka finally catches up with the goat, she finds more than she had bargained for.

Polly Alakija's bright, detailed illustrations perfectly capture the vibrant bustle of a Nigerian street market. Children will enjoy counting the missing items as they help Ayoka find the goat on each page. Boisterously funny and authentic, Catch that Goat! is a unique find! £5.99
