A whole new generation of children (and adults!) can travel at will, exploring an enticing, 3D spinning globe packed with animations, fascinating quizzes and facts about countries, landmarks, world art and more, an ever-changing soundscape, hours of audio, and hundreds of breathtaking photographs. The new edition also offers a fun "surprise" option which allows children to discover exciting new features and places simply by shaking their device, as well as streamlined navigation, improved search and vastly reduced file size.

After nearly 28 years, our Barefoot mission feels more relevant today than ever. We hope that Barefoot World Atlas will inspire children to celebrate the extraordinary diversity and beauty of our world, and empower them to protect its fragility."
