It’s Children’s Book Week!
The long-awaited week is here, and we are honored to be celebrating with young readers, educators, librarians, booksellers, families, book creators, and publishers around the country for the 105th year in a row!
Use #NoRulesJustRead online and let us know all the ways you are celebrating. You can also email pictures of your events and activities (please keep in mind permissions when sharing photos of children) to cbc.info@cbcbooks.org.
There are lots of great ways to celebrate! Here are a few:
- Join Sophie Blackall for her Children’s Book Week event on Saturday, May 11 at 1pm ET. Sophie will be live at the Brooklyn Public Library and you can tune in from anywhere using this live stream link!
- Join Club No Rules Just Read. Watch Sophie Blackall, this year’s Children’s Book Week poster artist and spokesperson, explain all about the club. Watch the video and join in!
- Have you heard the new Children’s Book Week jingle yet? Watch the lyrics video and sing along with kids of all ages. Teachers can enter to win a box of books by recording students singing along and uploading to Flip. Sing along to the video and check out the challenge information.
