Sugarfootn' is a series of books about an African American little girl named Babelle. Throughout her travels to find suitable homes for her Sugarfoots she experiences many adventures in diverse ethnic cultures. Along the way, she maintains the heritage passed down to her from her great Grannyfootn' to make sure everyone who is in need of love, happiness and companionship receives a Sugarfoot doll. Babelle's sugarfoots assist her daily in this task and often become very opinionated—in a sassy humorous way—as to where they should live. Babelle and her sugarfoots can be found anywhere from West Africa, Ireland, the Caribbean, from inner-city streets to suburban neighborhoods experiencing many different lifestyles, cultures and dialects.

Babelle loves living in the lovely Village of the Sugarfoots. Everything and everyone in The Sugarfoots Village is always picturesque and delightfully colorful.

Babelle's job is to help create Sugarfoots dolls and to find homes for every Sugarfoot in the village. The tradition of creating Sugarfoots was passed down to Babelle from her great, great, great, great, great, great, great, GREAT, Grannyfootn'...
