International Children’s Book Day

International Children’s Book Day, observed annually on April 2nd, is a worldwide celebration of the power of literature to ignite imaginations, inspire creativity, and foster a love of reading among children. This special day honours the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish author best known for his timeless fairy tales.

Marked by events, activities, and initiatives around the globe, International Children’s Book Day aims to promote children’s literature and encourage a lifelong appreciation for books. It underscores the importance of literacy, storytelling, and the joy of discovery found within the pages of a book.

This International Children’s Book Day, let’s come together to spark a passion for reading in children everywhere. Here are some content ideas to share on your digital platforms:

• Share recommendations for children’s books, highlighting diverse authors, genres, and themes that celebrate inclusivity and representation.
• Post engaging activities, such as virtual storytelling sessions, author Q&A sessions, or interactive reading challenges, to encourage children to engage with books in fun and creative ways.
• Host virtual book clubs or discussions for parents, educators, and children to share their favourite books, exchange ideas, and explore new literary adventures together.
• Collaborate with local libraries, schools, or literacy organisations to promote literacy initiatives, book drives, or reading events in your community.
• Share resources and tips for nurturing a love of reading at home, including strategies for selecting age-appropriate books and creating a supportive reading environment.
