“El Día de los Niños/El Día de los Libros” (Children’s Day/Book Day) is a vibrant annual celebration observed every year on April 30th. This special day underscores the vital role that literacy and reading play in the lives of children, promoting not just the act of reading but the joy of discovering new worlds through books. The celebration fosters deeper connections between children and their families and a rich array of literature that spans diverse genres, languages, and cultural backgrounds.
Inspiration for this celebration draws from the Mexican holiday “Día del Niño” (Day of the Child), which honors the joys and rights of children. In the United States, this celebration has been broadened to strongly emphasize literacy, encouraging communities, schools, and libraries to host events promoting reading and access to books. Activities often include storytelling sessions, book fairs, and cultural performances, making it a festive occasion that celebrates childhood and the transformative power of books in building a more inclusive and educated society.
