To celebrate World Book Day on March 5, the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) is giving away thousands of books in braille and audio formats (DAISY CD) for children with vision disabilities.
The selection of 13 titles aims to support World Book Day’s mission to give every child and young person a book of their own.
Fred said: “I love reading, books can take me anywhere in my imagination and I have so many adventures listening to my books! RNIB’s library of Talking Books is amazing because there are so many titles and no end to the places I can go.”
Organised by UNESCO, World Book Day is marked in more than 100 countries around the world, with 2020 being the 23rd year of celebrations.
World Book Day organisers are encouraging parents, children and young people of all ages to spend at least 10 minutes a day sharing a book together and celebrate reading for pleasure, helping to promote wellbeing for everyone.
Reading can open up a world of possibilities and enhance the imagination, which is why it is so important for every child (and adult) to be able to enjoy the books of their choice.
