Pratham Books is a not-for-profit children’s book publisher founded in 2004 with the mission to see ‘a book in every child’s hand’. Its key objective is to publish good quality, affordable storybooks in multiple languages to support reading acquisition among children. Since inception, Pratham Books has published over 4,000 books in 22 Indian languages.
