Free books for children by Better Time Stories
Share on social media:
Refugee children from Ukraine can receive free children's books through Better Time Stories. The (listening) books connect separated families through a listening and recording function. In this way, the Better Time Stories organisation hopes to offer support to children and welcome them to their new environment.
Interactive picture books
Donations allow Better Time Stories to create a gift package for a child. The package includes five interactive picture books on themes of comfort, love and optimism. The books are written by Ukrainian authors. The special feature is that each book is also available as an audiobook. Family members left behind can speak and record the story via an app. Children then hear the family member's voice so they can read the book together - remotely.
All picture books and audiobooks are bilingual: in Ukrainian and in the language of the country where the children are currently living. This helps not only to get familiar with the new environment, but also to learn a new language.
As a family with temporary protection in the Netherlands, Flanders (Belgium), Germany or Austria, you can apply for a free package. After the application, Better Time Stories will start to find a donor so that a book package will be sent.
