Caring for the environment has become one of the and most urgent issues of our time – and it is never too early to start. These books and gifts offer simple, inspiring and effective ways to engage children with the natural world.
-Barefoot Books
One of my favorite books in the Natural Child collection is Herb, The Vegetarian Dragon. It is the very first Barefoot Book that I ever bought. The main reason I bought it is because I’m a vegetarian and I thought Herb would be a fun way to introduce being a vegetarian to my kids. Plus, the illustrations are so vibrant. Even thought there are lots of words on a page (for little ones that can be difficult to sit through), the colorful pages keeps your child totally engaged in the story. Herb is a gentle soul among a world of dark and aggressive dragons and humans. He brings peace, understanding and acceptance to his world. It is a great lesson for our children!
