EVESHAM’s MP Nigel Huddleston has revealed his delight as World Book Day celebrated its 25th anniversary.
Each year, World Book Day creates bespoke £1 books for children and young adults across the UK and Ireland, to promote the power of imagination and the importance of reading.
Through World Book Day, every child in Worcestershire will be given a £1 book token, which they can take to a bookshop or supermarket to get their free World Book Day book.
World Book Day has been changing children’s lives by encouraging a love of books and reading for 25 years.
Reading for pleasure makes an enormous impact on a child’s future – whether that’s their educational success, well-being or mental health.
“It is a pleasure to be able to support World Book Day in its 25th year,” Mr Huddleston said.
“Every child and young adult in my constituency should have the opportunity to have a book of their own that they have chosen for themselves, and so I applaud the World Book Day campaign on their excellent work over so many years.”
