Today is World Book Day, a “worldwide celebration of books and reading”
in the UK.
For scheduling reasons the UK has celebrated on March 1st. For the rest of us we have to wait until April 23rd for World Book Day which happens to also be the day that both Shakespeare and Cervantes died.
No matter what world you live in this is a big day.
“A main aim of World Book Day is to encourage children to explore the pleasures of books and reading by providing them with the opportunity to have a book of their own”
What else can you ask for.
Whenever you celebrate: read and buy a book.
