We’ve recently started working with World Book Day, which celebrates it’s 15th year in 2012. World Book Day is a celebration! It’s a celebration of authors, of illustrators, of books and (most importantly) it’s a celebration of reading. In fact, it’s the biggest celebration of its kind.
We've teamed up with Children’s Laureate and The Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson and Cressida Cowell, creator of the How to Train Your Dragon series of books, to search for the UK’s first Storytelling Superstar for World Book Day.
Launched in partnership with The Sun, the hunt is on for a mum or dad, grandparent, babysitter, teacher or librarian who thrills their young audience and adds an extra element of fun to reading aloud.
The winner will be the person who shows a panel of judges – led by Julia and Cressida – that they can bring stories to life in the most imaginative way. Children have up to 12 February to nominate their Storytelling Superstar by submitting video entries via the World Book Day YouTube channel.
Look what else we're up to this month
