Which literary character are you dressing up this year? Share your pictures and be part of a worldwide celebration of books and reading.
World Book Day, the annual celebration of books, authors and illustrators (插图画家), sees many schools transformed on 1 March 2018. It’s an opportunity to inspire a love of reading in students – and also for pupils and teachers to dress up as their favourite fictional characters.
We’d love to see what you’re wearing for your characters. Last year, there was such an impressive range sent in that we had trouble picking our favourites. Highlights included The Lord of the Rings characters, the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland and The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.
Send us a photograph of you or your colleagues wearing a World Book Day costume and tell us a bit about what you’re doing with your class to celebrate. If children appear in the picture, please make sure you have permission from the parent or guardian (监护人).
How to contribute? You can share your photographs or videos of your World Book Day costume by clicking on the blue “contribute” button on this webpage or you can download the free app if you have a smartphone. Please use the description field to tell us more about the photo or video.
