Happy from all of us at the Publishers Association! 📚

World Book Day promotes reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own. Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success – more than their family circumstances, their parents’ educational background or their income.

This year World Book Day is celebrating that children are more likely to enjoy reading when their choices are championed and we make reading fun.
