World Book Day
World Book Day was created by UNESCO on 23rd April 1995 as a worldwide celebration of books and reading. It is marked in over 100 countries around the globe. The first World Book Day in the UK and Ireland took place in 1997 to encourage young people to discover the pleasure of reading.
The aim of it is to celebrate authors, books, illustrators and – of course – reading!
Whether you’re all sitting down together to whip up a BFG outfit, or snuggling up to read a brand new book, World Book Day offers countless opportunities for quality family time.
Why not devise some fun activities for when the children get home from school? Create a family dinner based on dishes from their favourite books, and enlist them to cook-along. Or encourage them to write a story.
