Support Our Launch
We’re excited to announce the publication of “What’s Inside the Shed.” But children’s books like this are not available to every child that deserves them that’s why we are doing what we can to support libraries and school projects across the UK.
Charities like: The Children’s Book Project
Across London and the UK 1 in 4 disadvantaged children owns fewer than 10 books, whilst 1 in 8 has none at all. This has an impact not only on these children’s academic outcomes but also on their wellbeing, emotional development and sense of themselves as a reader.
The Children’s Book Project directly tackles this ‘book gap’ and gifts donated books to targeted communities across the Capital. Over 500 schools, community groups, women’s groups and prisons nationwide put on book gifting events at which children are invited to choose a book to take it home and keep. The charity expects to gift upwards of 350,000books this year.
HOW TO DONATE YOUR CHILDREN’S BOOKS
We gift books that children have grown out of to families with very few books of their own. Find your nearest drop off point by clicking on the button below, then register your donation. Some centres seek books to suit specific ages.
The condition of donated books is really important. Sadly, we cannot accept:
- Old or tatty books
- Encyclopedias, textbooks, revision books, religious texts, DVDs or CDs
- Ex-library or reading scheme books
Our map includes different options:Community and retail partnersSchoolsHome collection. If you have other items to donate as well as books you may be eligible for a collection from Anglo Doorstep Collections.
Your support will help bring story to life with young readers everywhere.

As part of this campaign, we are also offering additional copies of our book to be sent to schools and libraries. Please join us in spreading the magic of imagination!
