THE #BOOKFACECHALLENGE #WorldBookDay #Literacy ##WorldBookandCopyrightDay #bookface @UNESCO

World Book Day (also known as World Book and Copyright Day or International Day of the Book) is an international and worldwide celebration that promotes the enjoyment of books and reading and champions books, copyright, and creativity. (Note that this is a different event than the World Book Day that takes place in March in the UK and Ireland).

Each year, World Book Day seeks to encourage everyone (and young people in particular) to discover the pleasure of reading…and this special day is observed by millions of people in 100+ countries around the world!Why th

is day? Well, this is an important and symbolic date for world literature because it’s the date when many well-known authors died (for example: William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes, Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, William Wordsworth, and many others). As such, it seems fitting to celebrate books on a day that also honours prominent authors from around the world!
