The Hero in Childrens Books - The Barefoot Books

The Barefoot Book of Tales, written by Dawn Casey and Illustrated by Anne Wilson

These stories tell of old folktales from around the world, and are educational. They inform children of Britain of the different cultures around the world 

Anne Wilson uses colour, pattern, layers and texture to create wonderful imagery for children's books.

Here are some examples of her other work:

The Elephant dance written by Theresa Heine and Illustrated by Shelia Moxley was another book published by Barefoot books to educate youth on tales from other countries, especially important for the illustrations and stories to be relevant for children from other countries living in Britain and learning about their home country

Octopus Opposites by Stella Stone and illustrated by Stephanie Bauer.

Bauer work is characteristic of barefoot, bright bold colour, pattern, and an all round fun book 

 The Wild Swans illustrated by Anne Yvonne Gilbert is a Barefoot Book which is unlike the over work they publish. Very delicate, classical feel similar to the golden age of book illustration.
