Stories from Around the World - a Barefoot Books Publication

Four tales of clever thinking, quick wit, and the magic of many cultures.

Journey across the globe with this beautifully illustrated collection of short chapter books, each one sharing a clever tale from a different corner of the world—Cambodia, Korea, Italy, and Mexico. These stories celebrate problem-solving, imagination, and the kind of resourcefulness children naturally adore.

With inviting illustrations woven throughout, young readers are gently supported in comprehension while being drawn deeper into each tale’s adventure. Whether shared aloud or read independently, this set nurtures curiosity, global awareness, and the joyful discovery that every culture has its own way of meeting challenges with creativity and heart.

A lovely addition to any child’s growing library—perfect for quiet moments, classroom shelves, and storytimes that spark big conversations.
