Every Child Deserves A Bedtime Story

Partnering with BookTrust: Spreading the Love of Reading

As part of our Every Child Deserves a Bedtime Story campaign, we are proud to partner with BookTrust, the UK’s largest children’s reading charity.

For every book purchased at Little Legends Books, £1 is donated directly to BookTrust, helping them provide books, resources, and support to families across the UK.

BookTrust’s mission is to inspire a love of reading in children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds who may not have easy access to books. By offering free books, running literacy programs, and providing resources to families and schools, BookTrust is making a real difference in the lives of millions of children every year.

Through our partnership, every purchase you make helps BookTrust in their efforts to:

  • Distribute books to children in need.

  • Support reading initiatives in schools and communities.

  • Foster a love of reading in children from all walks of life.

Together, we can ensure that more children experience the magic of bedtime stories and develop a lifelong love of reading.

Through the Every Child Deserves A Bedtime Story campaign, we aim to:


  • Promote Literacy

    By supporting literacy programs and organisations, we help ensure that children have the tools they need to develop a love for reading.

  • Foster Imagination

    Stories open up new worlds for children, encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and emotional growth. We want every child to experience the magic that comes from seeing themselves in a story.

  • Provide Comfort & Connection

    Bedtime stories are often moments of bonding between children and their caregivers. By making books accessible to more families, we hope to create moments of closeness and comfort, even in challenging circumstances.

How Your Purchase Helps

Reading for pleasure is crucial for a child's development, enhancing language skills, cognitive growth, and emotional understanding. Many UK children lack access to books, hindering their reading habits. BookTrust addresses this by distributing millions of books, providing school programs, and engaging parents to promote reading at home. Their initiatives reach children nationwide, from urban schools to rural areas, ensuring every child can enjoy reading.

Every time you purchase a personalised Little Legends book, £1 goes directly to BookTrust, helping to:

  • Provide free books to families who might not otherwise be able to afford them.

  • Support literacy programs that encourage reading in early childhood, setting kids up for lifelong success.

  • Bring stories to life for children in schools, hospitals, and communities across the UK, giving them the chance to discover the joy of reading.

BookTrust’s work makes a real impact, ensuring that children from all walks of life have access to the books and resources they need to thrive. By partnering with them, we’re taking one small step closer to a future where every child has a story to call their own.
