At certain times of year, we might have a bit more time to sit down with a good book. World Book Day (7 March 2024) is one such time, a day to celebrate authors, illustrators, books and the joy of reading. World Book Day also encourages young children to dress up as fictional characters, which may also turn out to be potentially good for mental health.
