People have stopped reading books to gather any information instead prefer going online and surfing the internet. This has become one of the biggest problems making them suffer from communication and speaking problem. To develop the reading habits in children from a young age a speacial day - International Children's Book Day is held every year to create awareness about the importance of reading..A yearly event sponsored by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), an international non-profit organization.
