World Book Day

Cast the Spell of Reading This World Book Day

Something magical is waiting…
Not in a faraway castle.
Not at the top of a mountain.
But right here — in the pages of a book.
This World Book Day, The Beacon is celebrating the stories that spark imaginations, fuel big dreams and turn ordinary afternoons into extraordinary adventures.
Because when a child opens a book…
a door opens too.

Why Reading Matters

Reading for pleasure builds confidence, creativity and empathy.
It helps children explore new worlds — and understand their own a little better.
And sometimes…
it simply gives them a place to belong.
So this World Book Day:
Open the book.
Find your world.
Let the story unfold.
