How to Celebrate Children's Book Week

A celebration of the written word, Children's Book Week introduces young people to books, authors, illustrators and ideas in schools, libraries, homes and bookstores. Through Children's Book Week, the Children's Book Council encourages young people and their caregivers to discover the complexity of the world beyond their own experience through books. Below is an extensive list of online resources for celebrating Children's Book Week. We encourage you to make copies of these materials for your classroom or personal use.
