At Chestnut Books, we specialise in creating beautiful collections of books that are inspiring, modern, diverse & linked to your curriculum. From books corners & topic collections to complete library re-stocks, we can help you create a culture of reading in your school. 

As a former teacher and Chair of a PTFA, I know how stretched school budgets are and how busy teachers are. We have read every book we recommend for our schools and use our extensive knowledge and experience to choose the very best books for each year group and topic with the correct levels of support & challenge to meet all your children’s needs. We work hard to ensure all children are represented in the books we choose; that they celebrate diversity, encourage curiosity and promote self-confidence and positive well-being. 

Thank you for choosing such a beautiful collection of diverse books for our library. I can tell you have thoughtful selected a rich variety for our school. It honestly made my heart so warm. The children absolutely loved it and were very excited when they came across something they could relate to. Representation of many.’
