Croatian Post (HP) Mostar has issued a postage stamp to celebrate International Children’s Book Day. The birthday of the most famous fairy-tale writer, Hans Christian Anderson, was chosen to mark this day. The aim of this day is to encourage kids to read today and its purpose is to recognize the power of reading and the role of books in the development and education of children.
On this day, many bookstores and libraries hold storytelling workshops and book reading events related to children’s book authors. The best and fastest way to develop children into intelligent human beings is by teaching them to read. Instilling a love of reading promotes a lifetime of learning and enjoyment. Vocabulary is enriched and the ability to speak beautifully is strengthened. According to some research, readers have more developed mental abilities and better memory. They are more relaxed and happier with their lives. It is important to read every day, because reading is fun, brings joy and enriches our life.
