It’s time for a shout out to everyone who went all in on the fun this World Book Day 2026 in the National Year of Reading and made it a magical day for children and young people! ✨📚

To the families, schools, teachers, early years practitioners, librarians, booksellers, publishers, our incredible £1/1.50 authors and illustrators, charity, commercial and industry partners, funders and supporters - including our headline sponsor National Book Tokens - your dedication makes a real difference.  

Have a look at everyone who makes it happen -  https://t.co/E74OABtf0o

Thanks to your support, we’re inspiring a love of reading, making books more accessible, and giving more children the choice — and the chance — to discover the fun of reading! 

And of course, to all the children who took part — choosing books, getting involved in activities, and embracing reading with enthusiasm — you are at the heart of everything we do. 💖
