# Good books for your classrooms, chosen by people who read them
Wau Books reads every children's book before it is listed. For schools we turn that into free reading lists per class level, help with classroom sets through Malaysian retailers, and a plain conversation about what belongs in a reading corner.

What we offer
## Four ways we help a school
### Book lists per class level, free
A printable list for each age band, built from the books we have read and kept. Use them for your library corner, a parents' evening, or a reading challenge.
### Classroom sets through our retailers
Tell us the ages and the budget. We put together a set from Malaysian retailers, check stock and prices, and coordinate the order. Quote on request.
### Reading-corner consultation
A call or a visit to plan a class library that children use: what to shelve at eye level, how to rotate books, which Bahasa Malaysia and English titles earn their place.
### Wau Books Originals, coming soon
Our own titles will carry bulk pricing for schools. Ask to be told first when the first Original is ready.
How it works
## Three steps, no sales call
1. 01 ### Tell us about your classrooms Ages, languages you teach in, roughly how many books, and when you need them. The form takes two minutes.
2. 02 ### Dayang replies within two working days With a first list and the questions we have. No sales call unless you want one.
3. 03 ### You approve, we coordinate For classroom sets we confirm stock and prices with the retailer and send one clear quote before anything is ordered.
## Request a quote
Tell us about your classrooms and Dayang, our co-founder and lead curator, will reply within two working days. Prefer email? Write to [hello@waubooks.com](https://waubooks.com/mailto:hello@waubooks.com).
### Questions schools ask
Is there a minimum order?
No. The reading lists are free, and a classroom set can be as small as ten books. Larger orders simply get more of our time.
Do you deliver to Sabah and Sarawak?
The retailers we work with do. Delivery time and cost depend on the retailer; we tell you both before you confirm.
Can you invoice the school rather than take a card?
Yes. For classroom sets we send a quote and an invoice; payment by bank transfer is fine.
Which languages do you cover?
English and Bahasa Malaysia are read by us directly. For Mandarin and Tamil we ask readers we trust before a book is listed, and our catalogue in those languages is still small.
All fields except phone are required.
