All Things Mothering

As the mom of two book-loving daughters and the Communications Director at Barefoot Books, my favorite thing to do is to share stories with my family. One of my earliest memories as a child is snuggling up in bed with my dad reading an hilarious story about a turtle and a duck. Throughout high school I worked as the page in the children's room of my small town library and loved interacting with all of the patrons, from the teeniest ones who could barely yet hold open a book, to the grandparents who would come in and spend literally hours searching for their favorite stories from childhood to share with their grandchildren. In college I was most often found in the library surrounded by books and when I needed a break from text books I would turn to the latest issue of the New York Times, the Styles section and Business sections were, and still are, my favorites. I've spent nearly 20 years helping emerging companies launch their brands through local, national and global media strategies and I'm thrilled to have landed at Barefoot Books (http://www.barefootbooks.com), a children's publisher that has always been near and dear to my heart and those of my own children. My favorite Barefoot book? A close tie between The Prince's Bedtime and I Took the Moon for a Walk. My children's? Magic Hoofbeats (for my 10 year old equestrian) and Lola's Fandango (for my 6 year old dancer.)
