Source files for What's next?

Book Dash shares the source files for every book so they can reach as many children as possible.

Download the files you want to use, translate, edit or repurpose below, organised by title, format and language. And if you use Book Dash content, please tell us about it here.

File types

Each folder has different types of files, including:

  • ebook: a full PDF ebook and individual image files
  • print-ready: files you can share with a printer to produce your own copies (the cover and interior pages are separate tiles)
  • working: this folder includes design files, fonts, text and translations

Download the files you want to translate, edit or repurpose below, organised by title, format and language.

And if you use Book Dash content, please tell us about it here.

Re-share, re-mix and re-print! 

All Book Dash books are published under a Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license. This means anyone can freely read, download, print, adapt and share Book Dash books. You can use these files to create new translations, adapt a book to your context, or plan a print run.

Research shows that physical books are optimal for young children's development. We particularly encourage you to consider printing copies for children to own, or motivating for the budget to do so. You can use our research and book printing quote request document to support you, or write to team@bookdash.org.

Partnering for impact

When people and organisations re-share Book Dash books, we get closer to the vision that every child should own a hundred books by the age of five. You become a partner in growing our impact. Please provide your details when prompted, we'd love to hear from you.
