“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”

Pablo Picasso

Paying it forward

James Hywel always 'thinks outside the book'.

His philosophy is that a book should be far more than just a story to make a child chuckle. That is only the start of the work of the book. It should not only change the life of the reader but should have more far-reaching ramifications. 

That's why we're paying it forward.

What we give

Registered Charities

At James Hywel Books we are always thinking of ways our books can benefit children (and adults) beyond just the pleasure of reading the book.

but because of who you are.”

Harold S. Kushner - Rabbi and author
