About
As of February 2024, Ukraine solemnly marks two years of a full-scale invasion, which has a devastating impact on children and their families. HarperCollins Children’s Books and Creative Artists Agency (CAA) are joining forces with Endless OS Foundation and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) to translate and bring many celebrated and New York Times bestselling children’s books, in both e-book and hardcover format, to children and their families displaced by the conflict in Ukraine.

A selection of HarperCollins children’s books is available in the Ukrainian language and will be distributed to children ages 5–18+ who have been displaced by the war in Ukraine. E-books will be available on online retail and library channels worldwide, as well as through Endless Key, an online and downloadable app designed to help offline communities access educational resources without an internet connection. Hundreds of hardcover books will be distributed through the International Rescue Committee, a global nonprofit that helps people affected by humanitarian crises, and its local partners in the United Kingdom, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Hungary, Moldova, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
