The first Children’s Book Week took place in 1919, founded on the belief that children’s books and literacy are life-changers. Administered by the Children's Book Council and Every Child A Reader, the celebration aims to encourage and inspire young readers everywhere. For this year’s celebration of the longest-running literacy initiative, we are showcasing some of our most beloved works from a variety of children’s and teen authors. Events surrounding Children’s Book Week take place across the country, in libraries, bookstores, and classrooms. Find out what’s happening near you, or simply celebrate at home by reading with your child. All it takes to fall in love with reading forever is one great story. Discover that story for your child!
