Barefoot Books @ www.thebarefootbookshelf.com

I love to introduce families and educators to Barefoot Books. These are valuable resources to share with children of all ages.
The best way to start in life is with a big stack of books! So, I help build libraries for families by working with parents and grandparents, creating gift registries, finding the perfect gifts, and locating books to educate, inspire, amuse, and share.

George Wright

George ByronWright was born in The Dalles, lived there until age seven, followed by short periods in Baker City, Tillamook and Roseburg. For George the fascination has always been about "story". From the age of nine he has written stories, created characters, and plots—his imagination has always been about stories. So after a career in the nonprofit sector, he began work on novels set in those towns of his youth. His first novel, “Baker City 1948”, was followed by “Tillamook 1952”, and “Roseburg 1959”.
