Kahan and his 5 Sunbird books

Persian-language Children’s Books for Refugee Children

The Books Away From Home Foundation offers 5 beautiful new Persian-language children's books for Afghan and Iranian refugee children, as part of its Sunbird project. Parents of Persian-speaking children living in Europe and other parts of the world can order a set of books directly from this website. The books are free of charge to refugee families, but if you are in a position to pay for the books, we welcome the contribution: the cost is 11 euros for a complete set of books. This will help us provide free books to other families, who are unable to afford them. In this way, we can help each other.

We also ask that all families pay the cost of shipping and handling: approximately 7 euros per 1 set of 5 different books (for many countries this cost will be higher). If you are unable to afford this, perhaps you know of other families that want books and are willing to share the cost of shipping. We will then send you all the sets together and you can distribute them. The more the merrier!

To order these lovely picture books, please click this link and complete the online form.
