The first international children's book day's book day's history has a rich past

Since 1967, the sponsoring group, International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), decides on a theme for the day and selects a member region to host the day. The host country selects local authors from around the region to write a letter to children of the world. An illustrator creates a poster to go with the theme, and the book and reading are used to advertise children's books and reading.

On this day, library scavenger hunts, writing competitions, announcements of book awards, and events with children's literature authors are among the many cultural celebrations.
