World Book Day 2026

 
As far as I'm concerned, every day should be World Book Day. I love books. I love the feel of them, the weight of them, the look of them on a shelf. Their fonts, their edges, their colorful covers. The worlds they permit you to visit, the other lives for you to live. I've said before that there are so many people that I hear speak and think that they just need to read a book. Their minds are so small; their thinking so limited. Read a book, any book. It doesn't have to be a history book or science book or the biography of an important figure. You can learn something from just about any book. They open doors to other worlds, to other cultures. No matter what you read, it's inevitable that you will learn something. Maybe it's just a new word, maybe it's geography, a skill you didn't know existed before. You'll learn something, expand your mind, learn that there's a whole world outside of that little corner that you live in. 

Read a book. Read a book to yourself, read a book to a child. Share a book with a friend or neighbor. Join a book club. Just do it. Just read.

Happy World Book Day
