"You’ve given me the best book ever, I love it so much!” Read what children thought of their special Christmas book parcels

Every Christmas, with your help we send special book parcels out to children who need them most - and we love reading the postcards they send us about the books they've received!

We know the magic a bedtime story can have – and helping children develop a love of reading at an early age can greatly improve their overall wellbeing later in life, too.  

Yet for too many children, books are a luxury their family can’t afford. They may never have had a book to call their own. But you could change this.  

Donate £10 today and bring joy to children this Christmas with the magic of books   

Here’s what some of the children who received parcels in 2022 had to say about their books: 

"Thank you so much. I feel very happy" 

“Thank you for the book. I love it and finding the whys about my questions.” 

“You have given me the best book ever. I love it so much!”

“What I think of BookTrust is it is fabulous and I really enjoy the books and am looking forward to more in the future. I like what you send us other than books, colours and games. Thanks BookTrust” -
