FREE CHILDREN’S EBOOKS IN OVER 30 LANGUAGES!
AUTHORS COMMITTED TO GIVING BACK TO OUR MULTILINGUAL COMMUNITIES
Hi friends,
As you know, amongst the different things that I do, I write and publish bilingual books for children (for the ones who are new here, I’m Elisavet Arkolaki 🙂 ). Acknowledging that times have been difficult for many families around the world during the pandemic and that not everyone is in a position to buy books for their children, together with some fellow authors (mini-interviews here!) we decided to offer the eBook editions of some of our books for free. Personally, I will be offering you all of my independently published bilingual eBooks for children + my guidebook for parents.
This will be a long-term commitment from our end, as it will be a recurring offer for 6 months (May till October). We hope you will grab this opportunity to read some wonderful books with your children, and that you’ll share this info with your local FB/Whatsapp groups, friends online and offline, language teachers, and schools that use any of the listed languages.
Quick overview of the languages listed, in alphabetical order:
Afrikaans, Albanian, Armenian, Bosnian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino / Tagalog, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese Brazilian, Portuguese European, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish Latin American, Spanish European, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese. Don’t see your language listed? Get in touch, and I’ll see what I can do.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
-On the 1st day of each month, and for the next 6 months, the ebook editions of the following books will be available to download for free at 09:00 CET / 12:00 AM PDT for 24 hours on the 1st of May, 1st of June, 1st of July, 1st of August, 1st of September, 1st of October. Search for the titles at our local Amazon store!
-All you need to download and read them is an Amazon account (.com/.co.uk./.de/, etc) and the free Kindle app installed on your phone/computer/tablet.
-Are you a (language) teacher? You have our permission to use our books with your students.
-If you can leave a review on Amazon afterward, you will make an author’s day 🙂.
Disclaimer: I haven’t read all the books from the different authors listed here, and I don’t speak all these languages, so you will need to download the ones you find interesting to discover your new favorite books <3.

Hello
None of these seem to be free. I checked amazon.com and amazon.co.uk
How should I proceed?
Thank you
Hi Nathalie, I’m sorry. I got the time conversion from the US to CET wrong. It should have been 08:00 CET in the morning. All eBooks are free npw.
Hi,
I click on the buy links under each book pictures listed here, in to purchase the books for free. However, it says they are only available in paperback format at amazon.com and the item is not available for purchase at amazon.nl (I live in the Netherlands). What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
Hi Gy, amazon.com probably doesn’t show you the ebooks because you have an account on amazon.nl. Go to amazon.nl and search for the books that you’re interested in. You should see the eBook editions over there.
I have accounts at amazon.com/nl/de/co.uk and tried all. As mentioned above, Amazon.com offers the paperback versions only (even I have a Kindle registered to my account there). And Amazon.nl says “This title is not currently available for purchase”. Here is the link:
See Cousins Forever – Sonsuza dek Kuzenler: Α bilingual children’s book in Turkish and English (English Edition) https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B091FTWDMR/
Hi GY, I just clicked on the link you shared https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B091FTWDMR/, I am logged in on my Amazon account, and I can see the button in Dutch “Kindle-editie – € 0,00” and right under “Lezen met onze Gratis app”. It’s not possible to share screenshots via the comments but these options are at the very top of the page. Are you logged in to your account? Do you have the free Kindle app? All you need to do is click on “Kindle-editie – € 0,00”.
Hi again,
Finally managed to find the source of problem. If you have a Kindle registered to Amazon.com account and your region/country is a different country (ie The Netherlands as in my example), Amazon does not allow you to purchase it free of charge neither at Amazon.com nor other Amazon local websites (ie Amazon.nl). You have to go to the Amazon Kindle account at Amazon.com (specifically “Manage your contents and devices” page) and migrate your Kindle device to Amazon local website. After doing this for Amazon.nl, it has finally worked. It was quite cumbersome to be honest, and hopefully I haven’t lost any of my previous library in the meantime. Thanks so much anyway!
I’m happy you managed to solve it and for bringing this to my attention. I have my Kindle registered on amazon.com, my location is in Norway, and I never encountered the issue you mentioned – I’ve always been able to download and purchase eBooks on amazon.com. I have no clue why this happened to you :(. I’m sorry for the trouble, and I really hope this is not an issue for many other people.
Great job!! Thanks!!
You’re welcome. Thank you for stopping by and reading :).
Thank you so much, this is amazing! Is this available for .nl or .de on Amazon? When I clicked on the links to book it said it’s only available in the US store. 🙁
Hi Daphne, yes, it’s available in every Amazon store. You will need to go to amazon.nl/amazon.de/amazon.co.uk, etc (your local store) and search for the books that interest you.
Thanks, Elisavet! This is really generous of you and the other authors 🙂
You’re welcome on behalf of all of us :). Happy reading.
