About Bookstart
Bookstart is a national programme that gives the gift of free books to children around eight months, 18 months and three years, along with guidance materials for parents and carers.
Bookstart packs are only half of the gift to children and their families. The other, more lasting gift, is the message of enjoying books together. We want every child in the UK to develop a lifelong love of books.
