The BIGGEST, HAPPIEST, BOOKIEST
celebration of books and reading is
back, BIGGER and BETTER than ever!
What are YOU
planning in your
class, school
or library?
Together, we can help children to develop
a love of books and reading: reading
for just 10 minutes a day can make
a huge difference to a child’s future.
Children’s literature and books play a
fundamental role in developing children’s
academic engagement, development and
life chances, providing the framework
and stimulus through which to deepen
their understanding of themselves and
the world around them, through
empathising with characters and
situations in high quality stories.
NOW, ON WITH THE FUN!

COPYRIGHT
Copyright is really important for authors, poets, artists, musicians
and all creators. No one likes it when someone else copies their
work – especially when they take credit for it. It’s also wrong if
someone copies work and then puts it online for anyone to see or
to use without permission. It’s essential that children understand
why copyright matters so that all creators continue to receive the
credit and payment they are entitled to.

explain copyright and the role it plays in protecting ideas.

2015 when children and young people aged 4–18 years are invited
to create a picture book, either individually, in a group or as a
class. The picture books can be made using any media and can
be up to 24 pages long. The competition will be judged by a wellknown author or illustrator (still to be announced) and the overall
winner gets a FREE AUTHOR EVENT. Winners of each of the four
categories get 50 PRINTED COPIES of their winning picture book.
Children love hearing what others their age are reading. There’s
a fabulous recommendation website featuring library users’
favourites at SUMMERREADINGCHALLENGE.ORG.UK/BOOK-SORTER

Sophy Henn lives and works in Sussex, England. She studied Fashion at
Central Saint Martins, accidentally had a London-based career as an
Art Director in advertising, then completed an MA in Illustration at the
University of Brighton. Now she writes and illustrates children’s books in her
studio, with a large cup of tea by her side, and can’t quite believe her luck.
Sophy created the gorgeous illustrations you’ll find dotted around our
website and on the tokens, resource packs and display materials for World
Book Day 2015. Her very first book, Where Bear? is a deceptively simple and
exquisitely illustrated picture book about a little boy and his bear, and their
journey to find a place called home.
