To address the questions we get asked most, here are some answers about how our book subscriptions work.
Yes! We send a quarterly newsletter which always includes our new children's book favourites and special offers! View our latest issue & Sign up for news!
We promise our books will inspire your children to build compassion and good conscience, but we know trust is earned. So to gain trust in our books, we often list special offers inside our newsletter and we award Reading Points to our subscribers to redeem Rewards to try our services at a reduced cost. Curious? Learn how Reading Rewards work below! Sign-up for our news to receive offers! View our offers!
First off, as of January 2021 your points will be doubled! For every new book subscription you start, and on every subscription renewal, you receive 10 Reading Points each month. After 50 points you can start redeeming them for Reading Rewards! This includes discounts on subscription renewals, a free month of service, a free book bag and soon even more. An email and a Points card are sent to notify you when you earn new Reading Points and shares how you can review and claim your Rewards. You may also login to your Account at any time to check the balance of your Reading Points and redeem available Rewards by applying them to your subscription or shopping cart. Curious about the Points in your Account? Login! You'll also earn 10 points if you Review us on Facebook! ~officially & kindly of course ;)
To welcome you and your child(ren) to our community, the first time you receive our subscription service we will include a fun tote bag with your unique children's book to help carry our monthly books around and encourage your child(ren) to read wherever they go!
Each monthly delivery will include our unique books along with gift items. This means you will have useful information about the book you receive, like which of our book themes it discusses and how it cultivates compassion. Plus, every book comes with a handmade bookmark, and extra small surprise to bring a touch more joy (ex: activity book, notebook, artwork, book for parents...).
And if you subscribe for 6 months:

(Updated on 02/02/2021) Monthly book packages for "Home Subscriptions" are delivered by our delivery partners, Mondial Relay and bPost. Your book packages are shipped on the 5th day of every month and sent directly to the address you provide us. (We no longer use a collection point.) Our delivery partners aim to deliver packages in Belgium within 5 working days once they receive them, however some delays can be expected due to COVID-19. The delivery fee in Belgium is 5 €. For other EU, UK, and international deliveries, packages should arrive in 5 to 10 working days and fees vary.
Monthly packages for "School Subscriptions" are posted directly to the school address that you provide us, specifically on the 5th day of the month via personal delivery. We only deliver these packages to Belgian schools. The delivery fee to Belgian schools is 2 €.
For all cases, subscriber addresses are only needed for account management purposes.
A subscription automatically renews and gets re-billed based on its subscription plan (aka billing period). Our "Month to Month" (monthly) subscription plan automatically renews and re-bills every month on the 11th day. Our "3 Month Prepay" and "6 Month Prepay" subscription plans automatically renew and re-bill every 3 and 6 months respectively, specifically on the 11th day of the final month. Your credit/debit card will automatically be charged the subscription fee unless you skip a renewal period or cancel your subscription. You may login to your Account to manage these settings anytime or make the requests by emailing us (at hello@LittleHumaneBooks.com). Have an Account? Login!
Our School Subscriptions operate during the school year (September-June). When you order this type of subscription we will deliver all of your books during the school year in which you began the subscription, which means you may receive multiple packages in June.
Please note: We are working with respect to COVID-19 regulations, which means you could experience a delivery delay on your School Subscription. We will always strive to adhere to our regular schedule but should you have any questions about School Subscriptions please email us (at hello@LittleHumaneBooks.com).
Most of the schools, or educational centers, that we provide our subscription service to are those that teach in English or teach some English and are located in Belgium. When you choose a School Subscription we offer a list of schools and centers that we already provide subscriptions to, but if you don't see the school or center you wish to use, you simply provide its name and address before you Checkout.

Our Gift Cards offer a way to give our subscriptions to children's books as gifts. A digital gift card may be applied to any one of our subscription services for up to 6 months.
Gift Cards may only be sent digitally. Gift Card senders control when their recipients receive their Gift Card. A Gift Card is not sent to a recipient at the same time that it is ordered. As such, a receiver email address is not needed to order a Gift Card, but supplying a gift message is recommended to personalize the gift.
Once a Gift Card is ordered, the purchaser will receive an email with the Gift Card information that they can use to forward to their gift receiver or print and present to their receiver if they wish to do so. As such, a purchaser address is only needed for account management purposes. Interested in offering a Gift Card? Get started!
To set-up a book subscription using a Gift Card, simply visit our website, set your preferences, and include your gift card code in your order page. If a customer has a Gift Card and an existing subscription they may apply the Gift Card to the renewal of that subscription and whatever balance is left on the subscription will be billed to their credit/debit card after. A gift card may be used more than once as long as it still has money on it. Gift cards apply to the final order total which includes shipping fees.
When you order your first subscription (or Gift Card) with us, you will be prompted to create to an online Account. An Account allows you to update information related to your order(s), like your contact details, and manage any existing and new subscriptions that you start.
An Account allows you to also keep track of any Gift Cards and Book Lover Points (for Rewards!) that you receive and redeem them on new or existing book subscriptions. Have an Account? Login!
