In 2021 World Book Day, just like everything else, will be different. We’ve adapted to make sure that World Book Day sends out the same positive message about books and reading, even in lockdown.

The Literacy Trust recognises the importance of celebrating World Book Day now more than ever, stating,
"Reading for pleasure is at the heart of World Book Day. We know that making every day a book day can have significant impacts on children and young people’s wellbeing. Three in five (59.3%) children and young people told us during the first lockdown that reading makes them feel better. It shows just how important it is to encourage children to read for pleasure during these very turbulent times."
