World Book Day will continue to work with schools and nurseries to distribute the £1 book tokens.
We’re working with teachers and nursery leaders to provide the printed token (for those children still in a school/nursery setting) and a new single-use digital version, that can be printed at home or shown to booksellers on a phone or tablet screen (please ask parents/guardians to check whether their local bookseller is able to accept this option beforehand).
If you are a school or nursery/pre-school and would like to register for the digital token, registration is now open – please click here to register. The digital token will be emailed to your school, and teachers can then forward/email the token to parents.

Tell a Fairy Tale Day is held on February 26. It provides a perfect opportunity to read fairy tales to your children and enjoy your favourite childhood tales yourself.
A fairy tale is a short story that typically features fantasy characters and magic.
Fairy tales usually take place once upon a time and have a happy ending: evil characters are punished and good characters live happily ever after.
