A book arrives in the mail every year, for each child’s birthday.


How It Works


We keep a list of children who have lost a parent. Every month we go through the birthdays coming up and mail each child a book.

The book is picked for them: age, language, gender. Children under three get a toy instead of a book. 

It’s all sponsored by anonymous donors and we will never ask you for payment.
