Let’s Read
Let’s Read is a digital library of children’s picture books drawn from communities across Asia and the Pacific.
The books are set in local places and everyday routines, and many are offered in more than one language. The same collection can be reached through the website or a reading app. For a family hunting for stories in a home language that rarely turns up in larger app libraries, it could be a place to start.
