It's simple.

Children deserve books from home, even if they are far from home.

Our mission

Reading matters

Reading and language are important for every child’s educational, emotional and social development. They are also important cornerstones for cultural preservation and community.

• I tried to read my kids online books, but it's not the same as if they can hold them in their hands, turn the pages and see the pictures.

• It is wonderful to have at least a little piece of our homeland, through these Ukrainian books.

• Thank you for the opportunity to read books in our native Ukrainian language. When we first saw them, tears came to our eyes.

• When you are running for your life, you don’t think about books at all. But time passes and your baby asks you to read a bedtime story… and lo and behold, 5 little books appear in their native Ukrainian language.

• We ordered a set of books for the little Ukrainian boy in our third grade class. He loves them, and has even read one aloud to his classmates!

• Thank you so much for the joy of books. My daughters were so happy to see folk tales they knew from home.

• Good day! I received the books! What happiness! I'll sit down and read to the children! Thank you very much for such a wonderful job! It's like a balm on a wound!

• I am sincerely grateful to my Dutch friends for their help and care. Wonderful books, wonderful Ukrainian language.💗

• I have a 7-year-old Ukrainian girl in my class who arrived last October. She is struggling to settle in and often appears understandably distant. I am fascinated by your project and would love to purchase from my own personal money 4 sets of your books for the school as there are a number of classes with Ukrainian children and it would surely help them adjust to their new surroundings in what must be a desperately difficult and confusing time in their lives.

• Wishing you a merry Christmas and I hope that your project grows and continues this valuable service to displaced children!

• Good morning from Lesbos! 🇬🇷🌞🫶🏼 We just received the books -- they are priceless.

• I would like to read with my children, to not forget our native language.

• The children feel so good when they recognize their own language.

• We've got a lot of refugee children and children who speak another language at home. We are starting a project to get parents more involved with the school. We're planning to invite the parents to read books in their own language to groups of children at our school.

• I have 2 refugee kids in my classroom who speak Persian. Of course, they learn to speak, write and read in German but I think it is important that they also read in their mother tongue.

• A fantastic addition to our multicultural school library!

• Because of the lack of Persian books in the Netherlands, I am so happy to find you all. My pupils (4-6 yrs) and their parents will be so thrilled.

• I want my nieces and nephews to experience Farsi tales, something I didn’t get the chance for.

With your support, we can provide books to the children who need them most.
