Read a Classic Book and Help Share the Joy of Reading Today

Throughout the school year, Penguin Books and the Pearson Foundation are sharing brand-new children's books with innovative local non-profit organizations making an important difference in local communities—including two favorites based in New York City: LitWorld and the Harlem Children's Zone.

Whenever we can, we're sharing with these organizations hardcover and paperback versions of many of the same classic books that you can read online at We Give Books for free—any time you like, no matter where you are. In the process, we're helping a whole new generation of young people discover the wonderful stories and illustrations to be found in classic titles such as Don Freeman's Corduroy, Lost and Found; Ezra Jack Keats' Regards to the Man in the Moon; Watty Piper's The Little Engine That Could; and even Frosty the Snowman. Best of all: each time you read one of these timeless tales online at We Give Books you help share a book with a child served by one of the great organizations we serve.

Read today at We Give Books and your efforts can help LitWorld deliver 2,000 books to young people in New York. Choose to support the Harlem Children's Zone and your efforts can help us share 10,000 books, right in the heart of New York City.

Read a book. Give a book. Visit We Give Books as often as you like, and—no matter which book you explore from our growing digital library—your efforts will help us share the joy of reading with a child served by a great non-profit organization. Start reading right now.
