Our Mission

Try and imagine for a moment children growing up in a world without books. Now imagine a library full of the best children's books in the world that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is accessible to everyone. Imagine that while enjoying those books you can help tackle illiteracy.

We Give Books is a new digital initiative from Penguin and Pearson Foundation designed to inspire everyone to read more and, at the same time, put books in the hands of people who are without them. The way We Give Books works is simple. Each book you read on this site will help to share a children's book with someone who desperately needs it.
