How to download purchased books onto my child's iPad using Family Sharing?

I am trying how to download purchased books onto my child's iPad using family sharing. When I look up the directions to do so, I feel like the direction on the apple support page is for a completely different software universe than what is on my apple devices. What is the actual way to download these books on my child's iPad?
