For a child living in poverty, a book can be a place they can escape to, a place where they feel safe and a place they can learn valuable life lessons of courage and kindness.

This year, Christmas for 380,000 children who do not have a book to call their own at home won’t be filled with bed time stories about Rudolph and snowy adventures. For thousands of children, this Christmas may feel colder than usual and more lonely than usual. But with your help, a book and support can make its way to a child like Alice this Christmas.
