Wikijunior

At Wikijunior, we are writing books for children.

The aim of this project is to produce age-appropriate non-fiction books for children from birth to age 12. These books are richly illustrated with photographs, diagrams, sketches, and original drawings. Wikijunior books are produced by a worldwide community of writers, teachers, students and young people all working together. The books present factual information that is verifiable. You are invited to join in and write, edit and rewrite each module and book to improve its content. Our books are distributed free of charge under the terms of the Gnu Free Documentation License.

Please see What is Wikijunior and meta:Wikijunior for more information about this project.

Current Titles

There are currently more than a dozen Wikijunior books and hundreds of modules within those books being readied for publication. For information on creating new titles see the New Title Policy. You can also help decide which title should be developed next by voting.
