World Book Day

World Book Day

“There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.”

― Walt Disney

Books have usually been a man's getaway from unhappiness. In some or the other way it always changes a frown upside down. It escapes a person whether old or young, well or sick to a cosy spot in the mind. The feeling of comfort, warmth, and relaxation is a few of its magical mysteries. A book provides information, confidence and sensibility in one’s behaviour.

World Book Day is observed every year on the 23rd of April. The day was started by UNESCO to promote reading, publishing, and copyright and is celebrated by hosting several book fairs and events across the world. On this day we honour the authors and poets who dedicated their life to literature. 23rd April is a symbolic date for world literature because many of the world’s greatest authors were either born or died on this day. The main goal of Word Book Day is to make people understand the importance of reading and also the opportunity to discover the joy of writing. Books are of many types such as fictional and non-fictional, educational, sports and many other subjects but one thing they have in common is that they enrich us with information and thoughts. So, get up, grab a book and start reading.
