The Big Bad Wolf Books was founded by Andrew Yap and Jacqueline Ng in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2009 with the primary mission of cultivating reading habits, increasing English literacy worldwide and building a new generation of readers, by making books more affordable and accessible to everyone.

​Its Books Sale is a global reading advocacy initiative that aims to encourage people of all ages to discover the joys of reading and inspire them to pursue their dreams and, importantly, empower them with the knowledge to realize them. ​

The Big Bad Wolf Books Sale has since toured 37 cities in 14 countries including Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates and most recently ventured into Africa – setting foot in Tanzania and Kenya, with no plans to stop in making reading affordable for readers around the world.
