What holiday is March 4th?

In our daily lives, we often encounter some special dates. Some dates are familiar to us, while others may make us feel uncomfortable. Puzzled. Today, I will reveal a mystery for you, that is, what holiday is March 4th?

After checking the information, I found that March 4th is a very special day. It is called "World Children's Book Day". The origin of this festival can be traced back to 1967, when the International Children's Book Federation held a conference in Vienna, Austria, at which an important initiative was put forward to designate April 2 each year as International Children's Book Day. However, because April 2 overlaps with the Easter holiday in some countries, in 1977, UNESCO decided to change International Children's Book Day to April 23 every year.

So why do we mention World Children’s Book Day on March 4th? It turns out that March 4 is an important prelude to International Children’s Book Day, and it is called “The Eve of World Children’s Book Day”. On this day, authors, illustrators, publishers and other relevant people from various countries will hold a series of celebration activities to increase attention and promotion of children's books.

As an important part of World Children’s Book Day, various countries will hold various reading promotion activities. For example, the library will organize a series of reading activities, including children's story telling sessions, book sharing sessions, etc., to attract more children to participate in reading. In addition, some schools and communities will also carry out similar activities to improve children's reading interest and ability.

On the eve of World Children’s Book Day, many people will choose to donate children’s books they no longer need to those in need. This can not only help children who lack reading resources, but also reduce the waste of books and achieve resource sharing and recycling.

In order to encourage children to participate in creation, some institutions and organizations will hold children's book creation competitions.
