World Book Day 2022 is celebrated on 3 March this year. Designated by UNESCO as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, it is marked in over 100 countries around the globe. You may have noticed lots of children dressed up as their favourite book characters on their way to school or nursery today! Bookshops, libraries, workplaces and other organisations also get involved often as partners.
On The World Book Day website they set out their mission of promoting reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own. For more information, see the World Book Day website.
