Celebrate Spring with Barefoot Books!




Are you seeing signs of spring where you are yet?  Here in Boston it is still a little on the chilly side, but I am finally starting to see little purple and white crocuses, yellow daffodils and forsythia, and tiny green buds on trees...such a wonderful time of year after a long and difficult winter!  Let's celebrate with some springtime Barefoot Books on sale...
