How Book Dash makes beautiful books in a single day
Children’s publisher Book Dash makes beautiful books in a single day, then gives them away. And their method is catching on around the world.
Book Dash believes every child should own a hundred books by the age of five. They gather creative professionals who volunteer to create new storybooks that anyone can freely translate, print and distribute. Then they work with partners to get those books to preschool children and their families to own.
In this episode, Arthur wears his Book Dash co-founder hat, and speaks to its outgoing Executive Director Julia Norrish about how and why their ambitious approach to book-making actually works.
