Since 1967, on or around Hans Christian Andersen’s birthday, 2 April, International Children’s Book Day (ICBD) is celebrated to inspire a love of reading and to call attention to children’s books.
IBBY is an international non-profit organization, to inspire a love of reading and to call attention to children’s books. Each year a different National Section of IBBY has the opportunity to be the international sponsor of ICBD and decide upon a theme. IBBY Canada is the sponsor for International Children’s Book Day 2022.
Theme 2022: Stories are wings that help you soar every day.
