The Free Book Project

Every child deserves a book of their own.

That’s not a slogan. It’s why we built The Free Book Project.

Four titles. Personalise it. Download it. Yours forever.

Most personalised children’s books cost more than too many families can spare. They’re beautifully made. They’re worth every penny. But that doesn’t help the families who don’t have those pennies to give.

We started The Kids Book Company because we believe a book can do more than sit on a shelf. It can teach. It can inspire. It can make a child feel like the most important person in the room.

So we asked ourselves a simple question. What if we just gave the digital version away?
No catch. No credit card. No limited time offer. A fully personalised book, free, for any family who wants one.

Pick a story. Make it theirs. Take it home.

My Secret Unicorn

A magical friend lives at the bottom of the garden. A story about imagination, kindness, and the wonder of believing in something nobody else can see.
My Way Home
From the supermarket to the moon and back again. A bedtime adventure about all the places a child can travel before falling asleep.
More Than I Can Count
Counting from one, to ten, to more than anyone could count. A celebration of all the small things that fill a child’s day.
My Incredible Name
Every letter of a child’s name is a doorway to somewhere new. A story about the magic hidden inside the letters that make them who they are.

Three steps. Five minutes. One unforgettable book.

01.

Pick a story

Choose one of our four titles. Each one’s been written, illustrated, and quietly woven with a little something extra to learn along the way.

02.

Make it theirs
Add the child’s name. Choose how their character looks. Personalise the details that turn a story into their story.

03.

Read it tonight
Download the book straight to a tablet, phone, or computer. Read it together at bedtime. Print the pages if you like. It’s theirs, forever.

A book in every child's hands.

Reading for pleasure is at its lowest level on record. The children most likely to fall behind are the ones without books at home. And personalised books light a child up in a way ordinary books often don’t, because the story is about them. They want to read it. They keep coming back to it. They learn faster from it.

But personalisation has been priced like a luxury. We don’t think it should be.

So this isn’t a promotion. It isn’t a discount. It isn’t a marketing campaign with a clever tagline.

It’s a stance.

Every child deserves a book with their name in it. So we made one. And we’re giving it away.

A real book. Made for them.

Fully illustrated

24 pages of original artwork by professional children’s book illustrators. The same illustrations that go into our printed books.

Personalised throughout

Their name, their character, their world. Personalised on every page, not just the cover.

Educational layering

Every story quietly teaches. Phonics. Counting. Geography. Empathy. The good stuff, hidden in plain sight.

Love the digital version? You'll love it more in print.

The free book is yours forever. But there’s something different about a printed book. The weight of it in a child’s hands. The way the pages turn. The shelf they’ll keep it on for years.

If you want a printed copy, we can do that too. Hardcover or softcover, printed on demand, posted out to you. Eco-friendly inks. Up-cyclable packaging. Made the way books should be made.

Bringing books to every classroom.

Schools and charities can use The Free Book Project at no cost. Every child gets a personalised book of their own. And every printed copy purchased through your community sends ten percent back to your school or cause.

We’ve worked with national children’s charities and education partners to put books in the hands of children who’d otherwise go without. If you’d like to do the same with your community, we’d love to hear from you.

What families have been telling us.

The books are simply amazing! It becomes one of my son’s favourite, as it is a terrific book filled with lots of different activities, not just the “regular reading”. Highly recommend “My incredible name”, “My way home” and “My secret unicorn” - actually, we can’t choose our favourite among these three 🙂

My 4 year old niece thought this was the very best book in the whole world…. her words! And it is of excellent quality!

This personalized children’s book was a great idea for a 1 year old birthday present. I also gave her a stuffed unicorn so she can play with it and pretend to have the same adventures. The pictures are vibrant and the pages are sturdy enough to resist a quick grab. Not sturdy enough for that age to play with alone. The story is fun and exciting.

My littlest niece absolutely lit up when she saw the little girl in the book had red hair...and HER name! It's so hard to find books with red headed heroines..this was a very special gift and we will treasure it for years. Customer service was amazing and they shipped way faster than I expected in the Christmas season.
