Our first five Persian-language children's books are now available! We also offer 4 Ukrainian children's books.

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

  • Refugee family

  • Host family

  • Refugee shelter

  • Refugee organization

  • School

  • Hospital

  • Library

  • Community center

Schools, host families, refugee organizations and shelters, hospitals, libraries and community centers can order our books at cost price (Ukrainian: 5 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.
