Giving back
Free books for classrooms
A share of what our books earn goes back into printing books we give away to classrooms that ask for them.
How it works
- Tell us about your classroom. Age group, how many children, and what would actually be useful.
- We keep the list in order. Requests are worked through in the order they arrive, with priority for classrooms serving families who would find buying a set difficult.
- We email you before we ship. We will confirm the address and how many copies before anything goes out.
- No cost, and nothing to return. The books are yours. We do not ask for a review, a post, or a mention.
Who can ask
Preschool, pre-K and early-elementary teachers; school and public librarians; school counselors; and people running reading or play programs for young children. If you work with little hands and a box of crayons would help, you count. We ship within the United States.
How we fund it
Donated books are paid for out of a share of the profit our books make. We are deliberately not printing a percentage yet: we have not sold a book, so any number we gave you today would be a guess. Once there is real sales history we will publish the figure here and stand behind it.
Join the classroom list
Everything except the notes field helps us plan the print run. We will only use it to get books to you.
