- 1. From the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY):Since 1967, on or around Hans Christian Andersen's birthday, April 2nd, International Children's Book Day (ICBD) is celebrated to inspire a love of reading and to call attention to children's books.
- 2. Annual ThemeEach year a different National Section of IBBY has the opportunity to be the sponsor of ICBD. It decides upon a theme and invites a prominent author from the host country to write a message to the children of the world and a well-known illustrator to design a poster. These materials are used in different ways to promote books and reading.
