Get books

AUTUMN BONUS!! Until 5 December 2026, our SUNBIRD books can be ordered at no extra cost. Including shipping! The offer applies to host families, refugee shelters and organizations, schools, hospitals and libraries, with a limit of 2 sets per order. These 5 books are originally from Afghanistan. Iranian children will enjoy them too, though some of the words may be unfamiliar to them (the written Persian language in Afghanistan differs slightly from that used in Iran). If you wish to take advantage of the Autumn Bonus, send us an email (please do not use the application form) with your name, address, and whether you would like 1 or 2 sets of books. We will get in touch with you as soon as possible. PLEASE NOTE: this offer applies only to the Sunbird series and not to our Ukrainian children's books. The Ukrainian books can be ordered through the application form on this page: 6 euros per set. Thanks! Our email address is: info@booksawayfromhome.org

Our first five Persian-language children's books are now available! We also offer 5 Ukrainian children's books.

To apply for books from Books Away From Home, you must be or represent one of the following:

Schools, host families, refugee organizations and shelters, hospitals, libraries and community centers can order our books at cost price (Ukrainian: 6 euros per set; Persian, 11 euros per set) plus shipping. Books are free for refugee families, though shipping costs will apply. We strive to keep costs as low as possible and are completely non-profit: all money from sales is used to print and distribute additional books and fund new projects. Book delivery times will vary. While you're waiting, be sure to check this website regularly for ideas, games and reading material for the refugee kids in your classroom, neighborhood, and family.

Use the application form on this page to order. Families are eligible for one set, but do let us know if you need extra sets for friends and neighbors. Feel free to contact us if your own situation does not fall into one of the above categories. We're happy to discuss other options.
