About Pratham Books

Pratham Books is a not-for-profit children's book publisher that was set up in 2004 to publish good quality and affordable books in many Indian languages. Our mission is to see a book in every child's hand and we have spread the joy of reading to millions of children in India. As a publisher serving every child in India, Pratham Books has always pushed the boundaries when it comes to exploring innovative ways in which to create access to joyful stories and have been fortunate in finding partners to collaborate with who share this vision. In 2015, we were one of the first publishers in the country to open license our content. All this content is now available on Storyweaver, which is a digital platform that hosts stories in languages from India and beyond so that every child can have an endless stream of stories in her mother tongue to read. The stories can be read, translated, versioned, or downloaded for free. All stories on the platform are openly licensed.
