World Book Day is marked by over 100 countries around the globe, and originates from Catalonia. Books have been given as gifts on St George’s Day for over 80 years, and most countries will be holding World Book Day on 23 April. However, the UK and Ireland like to be different, so our World Book Day is today!
Reading is a wonderful pastime and a brilliant way to help children learn, and understand the world around them. Why not give a book to a child you know? Check out the World Book Day site to find out what specially produced £1 books are available. (Make sure you let their parents know so you don’t get accused of anything underhand!) Happy reading!
Have your say!
