Only children who are battling life-threatening illnesses are eligible to receive a free book. Due to the mass number of requests we receive, if we are unable to fulfill all requests immediately, a request will be placed on a waiting list. Illegitimate requests keep us from being able to send books to children on this list, those who truly deserve them, and may hinder our ability to maintain sending books at no cost. Because of this, we ask that you only request a free book if your situation meets our requirements. Thank you for your understanding. Unfortunately, if you do not meet the requirements we do offer books for purchase.
