Words can leave charismatic effects on humans and change people’s lives entirely. How we feel is exactly depends on what we read or hear. They guide our ways and lead our thoughts to the right destination according to one’s understanding, in a world where no one knew what is the meaning of life and how to live’ these are the divine words that helped us to understand nature. Later, people compiled the words and presented them in the world as “Books†after the Chinese invented paper and the process was sped up by Gutenberg’s printing press.
How
would you be feeling if there have been no books? Would the planet be an
equivalent because it is today? The undeniable truth is ‘No’. Books have played
a very crucial role in our lives and always been educating, guiding, and
inspiring us for years. These are more than just words written on pieces of
paper. They can take you to the imagination and show you incredible
things. World Book Day is all about
teaching us and especially children the subtle art of reading and the
importance of books. The celebration has a strong connection with schools,
encouraging and engaging children with books as much as possible. UNESCO has a
motive to set this trend worldwide and allow school children to make their
opinion about books and develop their interest in reading their favorite books.
‘World Book and Copyright Day is an international and annual book festival
organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) that encourages the importance of reading, publishing,
and copyright. For the very first time in history, it was celebrated on April
23, 1995, and continues to be celebrated on the same day. It is not just a
usual holiday but a festival for bibliophiles. It is also a day for promoting
