What is World Book Day Uk?

On the first Thursday of March each year, World Book Day in the United Kingdom and Ireland encourages placing a book in every child and young adult's hand.. That's been their mission since 1995!

The day also honors the ingenious writers and illustrators who keep us coming back for more. The joy they bring makes World Book Day stand up and applaud for all the joy they bring. We all have our favorite stories from when we were children, and this year is ensuring that these stories will continue to be told.
