Why did The Good and the Beautiful give away 100,000 free books?

We are losing whole generations of children who are able to recognize or care about literature and learning that is good and beautiful. We are also facing generations of children who are flooded with books that model disrespect and low character. Our overarching mission is to help draw children and families to learning and books that are clean, promote high character, and create strong and faithful minds and hearts. There is so much joy to be found in rich, uplifting literature. Join us in our journey!

How does the program work?

1. Download a FREE Summer Reading Program PDF pack below for each child in your household. Print out the reading chart, stickers, and bookmarks at home. Each pack contains these free items:

  • A create-your-own hiking scene reading chart with stickers to track progress
  • 2 bookmarks

2. Choose books from The Good and the Beautiful Bookshop or from The Good and the Beautiful Book List to read during the summer. After each book is read, the child will write the book title on the chart and put a sticker on the scene.

3. After reading 5 books, the chart is complete, and your child can receive a reward of your choosing, such as a book from The Good and the Beautiful Bookshop, a camp out in the backyard, an ice cream party, or any other special prize.
