What you get
Every title is free to read, free to hear, and stays online permanently. We add titles as funding allows. Nothing we add ever goes behind a cost or an account.
Mia and the HealthQuest Dragon : A Quest for Confidence
Mia finds out that showing up for yourself, even on hard days, is the real win.
Brave Together: An Upstander's Quest
Mateo and Jackson find out that anyone can be an upstander — for themselves, and for others.
Both books are free. They go home with your child and they stay there.
There's a line inside for them to write their own name.
More books are coming.
Who’s it For?
Young kids and the grown-ups who read with them. The stories are written for children in the early elementary years — the age where habits are still being formed and nobody wants a lecture. They work read-aloud, so a child who isn't reading independently yet can use them, and so can a caregiver who'd rather listen than read. Every book comes in English and Spanish, in print and out loud. We work with schools, clinics, libraries and community organizations across Central Texas, and the book goes home with the child — so it reaches the whole household, not just the classroom.
How is this Funded?
The HealthQuest Access Initiative is a charitable program of the Givinga Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 47-4172718). The Foundation receives and administers all funds and handles grant reporting. The Initiative was established under that sponsorship in February 2026. Our thanks to the funders who made these books possible. Each book names the grant that paid for it.
How to Get Books
Books reach children through schools, clinics and community partners across Central Texas. If you work with families and you'd like books for them, tell us who you serve and we'll tell you what we can send. There's no cost and nothing to sign.
