Celebrate Reading…Around the World
Today is Hans Christian Andersen’s birthday, and as designated by the International Board of Books for Young Readers, “International Children’s Book Day”. Remember what it felt like to sit on someone’s lap and read a book together. Celebrate by passing that feeling onto the next generation. We invite you to travel the world with a child you love. Have a wonderful time on your journey with books and your young readers. Our photo today is brought to you by Reading Rockets.
