International Children's Book Day 2020
 |
Later in life I find those reading choices less beckoning. The authors have diverged from fiction, poetry, and history to purely technical, jargon, flow charts, and schematics.
International Children's Book Day (ICBD) happens annually and is sponsored by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY). They are an international non-profit founded in 1967.
Their Chidrens Book Day is held to coincide with the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen's which is the second of Apirl.
It is a day for writing competitions, announcements of book awards and events with authors of children's literature
.
There are international sections of the IBBY and each year one of those is given the opportunity to sponsor ICBD.
I have always been a proponent of children's books due to those benefits I gleaned from reading as a child. I hope that you cultivate similar interest if it's not already there and as usual, have a happy ICBD !
