What reaches a child's hands
A book designed to be read as a family.
Since 2018, every volume has been drawn by children for children. The story doesn't end on the last page: it carries on at home, in conversations with parents and in prayer.

Stories of impact
Where the books arrive, children open the Bible.
Pastors, missionaries, teachers and families share what happens after the books are delivered.
“[A short, strong testimony from a pastor or missionary about what the books did in the community.]”
“[A testimony from a mother or father about reading as a family.]”
Children reaching children
One book to read, another to give to a friend.
In the children's ministries of partner churches, each child receives two books: one to keep and one to give to a classmate. That way, the children themselves carry God's Word to school, to the neighbourhood and into their homes.
“[Testimony from a missionary in the field]”
“[Testimony from a Sunday school teacher]”
“[A child talking about their favourite story]”

About us
Christians from many churches, united by one mission.
We are Christians from many churches and denominations who, together with our families, illustrate Bible stories, turn them into books and give them free of charge to children who are just starting their journey of reading and faith.
“And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
Mission
To give every child free access to God's Word, so that they come to know God, His love and the plan of salvation, and live by what they have learned.
Vision
A generation of children transformed by God's Word, glorifying God with their lives.
Our story
- 2014
A teacher noticed that her pupils did not have God's Word in their hands. She started giving out books at school and then took the idea to her local church, handing out books after services and encouraging the children to share the Gospel with their friends.
- 2018
Launch of our first series of books, written for children learning to read and illustrated by children and their families.
- 2021
During the pandemic, distribution grew, and the books began to arrive directly at children's homes.
- Today
40 books of our own and 400,000 copies printed, distributed in Brazil and abroad, with translations into English and Spanish.
