Our Books
Great books speak directly to their readers. They can act as mirrors that reflect one’s reality, or as windows that invite the reader into a world of new ideas. To date, we’ve helped create more than 1000 unique titles -- mainly for children -- written, illustrated and published in 45 developing countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania. Our books contain several scripts, including Bengali and Amharic and two titles coded in Braille.
