April 2nd , Children's and Young Adult Book
April 2nd , Children's and Young Adult Book Day, is a day dedicated to promoting reading among children and teenagers, encouraging a love of books from an early age. The date was chosen in honor of the birthday of the writer Hans Christian Andersen, famous for his fables and fairy tales, whose stories continue to enchant generations.
The day aims to highlight the importance of children's and young adult literature in the intellectual and emotional development of young people, in addition to promoting access to quality books. Reading has the power to expand the imagination, improve cognitive skills and provide a means of reflection and learning.
Organizations, schools and libraries around the world carry out activities, such as storytelling, reading workshops and book launches, to celebrate the day and encourage the habit of reading among the youngest. Choosing books appropriate for each age group is essential to form future critical and creative readers.
