2021 Children s Book Week Gets a Jump on Festivities By Pamela Brill | Apr 06, 2021
One month ahead of its official launch date, this year’s Children’s Book Week is unveiling a host of activities and resources now available online for registered participants. Of note are the 19 book creators who have been tapped to lend their voices and artistic abilities to the 2021 event. “The theme, “Reading Is a Superpower,” has inspired us to empower young people. We really want them to start exploring their superpowers in April, so they can celebrate themselves, their own stories and the books they love,” said Shaina Birkhead, associate executive director of the Children’s Book Council and Every Child a Reader.
