Reply to your invitation Reply “Yes” or “I’m in” · By October 4

Reply “Yes” or “I’m in” to your invitation email by October 4, 2026 to confirm your commitment to the free offer and both promotional shares. No additional registration form is needed. If you already replied, you do not need to confirm again.

If the timing doesn’t work for you, simply let us know so we can offer the space to another author.

One event. A bigger opportunity.

The free books open the door. The guide and newsletter help families keep discovering.

What families will find Individual book cards, a bulk link, and more to explore
  • A card for each book: readers can choose and download titles individually.
  • A bulk-download link for U.S. readers: an easy way to collect the featured eBooks.
  • The full Holiday Gift Guide: encouragement to explore more books to purchase and gift.
  • An optional newsletter signup: plus an opportunity to enter to win five physical books.
Why it’s part of the Gift Guide More collective reach. More readers discovering books.

By sharing together, participating authors introduce their audiences to the broader collection. The larger our collective reach, the more families we can introduce to the Holiday Gift Guide.

The five-book physical giveaway provides an extra incentive to join the newsletter. That ongoing connection lets Kids Book Hub continue sharing the guide throughout the holiday season, along with future KBH promotions.

A free eBook also gives families a chance to experience your storytelling firsthand and discover books they may want to purchase, gift, or share.

What Kids Book Hub will provide A central event page and materials to make sharing easy
  • A reader-facing page with individual book cards and a U.S. bulk-download link.
  • Promotional graphics and optional sample captions to use or adapt.
  • The central event link for your posts and emails.
  • Promotion through Kids Book Hub’s social channels and newsletter.
  • Gift Guide promotion, optional newsletter signup, and the opportunity to enter the five-book physical giveaway.
A fresh collection for returning readers New authors and familiar authors sharing different books

Many Kids Book Hub families joined the Summer Reading Kids Fest free eBook event. This collection will feature titles that weren’t included in that promotion, giving returning readers something new to explore.

We’re bringing together newer Kids Book Hub authors and familiar authors featuring additional books for a fresh mix of stories.

A few helpful answers

Is Gift Guide participation enough to join? The eBook event is a separate, curated invitation

This page is for authors personally invited by Kids Book Hub to the November 4 Free eBook Day. Gift Guide participation alone does not confirm a place in this event.

Can I invite another author? Refer prospective authors to the Book Library

This event is by Kids Book Hub invitation. Direct authors interested in the KBH Book Library to the For Authors page to submit their book for consideration. Library submission does not guarantee acceptance or event participation.
