World Book Day is great for promoting literacy but it is also just a lot of fun.
Parents and children alike get into the celebration by creating or buying costumes of their favourite book characters. Some can be a little tenuous, but as long as there is a book based on them- any person from the world of literature is fair game!
World Book Day 2020 was as wonderful as usual with millions of children and adults enjoying a day to dress up and show off their favourite bookish characters. From Mary Poppins to Florence Nightingale the list is as vast as it is eclectic!
