Free Living Books for April 2026

Finding high-quality free homeschooling books shouldn’t be a challenge. At Living Book Press, I’m thrilled to offer a rotating selection of wonderful e-books for free every month. Whether you are following a Charlotte Mason curriculum or simply looking for virtuous literature, these free living books are a perfect addition to your homeschool library.

This April, enjoy two delightful living books — perfect for inspiring wonder and memorisation! These lovely books full of poetic prose and adventurous tales will give the gift of words and worthy deeds!

 A Book of Golden Deeds by Charlotte Yonge

This is a charming book constituting a treasury of some of the noblest deeds of the world. “It is intended,” says the author, “as a treasury for young people, where they may find minuter particulars than their abridged histories usually afford of the soul-stirring deeds that give life and glory to the record of events; and where also other like actions, out of their ordinary course of reading, may be placed before them, in the trust that example may inspire the spirit of heroism and self-devotion.” This book is worthy of a place in every family, immeasurably preferable to much of the trash that finds its way into our households. — Making of America Journal

Recitations for Girls and Boys By Grace M. Tuffey

Give your child the joy of beautiful words. Recitations for Girls and Boys gathers short, lively pieces chosen especially for ages six to ten-perfect for memory work, morning time, or a small performance at home. From a proud tin soldier and a foolish lamb to mushroom hunts at dawn and Red Riding Hood’s dash through the woods, these charming selections invite clear speech, imagination, and delight.
