As a young child growing up in a very small city, I was always fascinated to read about other lands, great adventures and magical places. From an early age, my family said I had always had a vivid imagination and a thirst to travel and explore. The books are based around key themes that became important to me; values and people. My eldest daughter has just had her 16th birthday and as part of her present we got her the Little Miss Trouble book. I considered Little Miss Sunshine but unfortunately the irony would have been lost on her. The most important thing you can do on World Book Day is read a book!

Whilst at secondary school, I loved Chris Bonnington’s book “Annapurna Southface” about a deliberately very challenging ascent of Annapura in 1970. The spirit of determination and ingenuity displayed by Bonnington and his team further fuelled my passion for mountaineering first ignited by my mother who was a keen mountaineer in her younger years. Ten years after reading this book, I found myself heading up Annapurna which was truly terrific! Never under estimate the power of books! From Mr Men and Little Miss, to Dr. Seuss and Disney – you may find the perfect costume for your kids. So, leave the school uniform at home and let’s get creative! 1. Cat in the Hat Undoubtedly my favourite book as a child was The Machine Gunners by Robert Westall. It was about a young boy living through WW2 who, on an adventure into the woods, found a downed German plane. He, along with his friends, took the weaponry from the plane and built a fortress along with a working gun! Later they’d shoot down a plane and capture the gunner! It was a fantastical tale, but it utterly captivated me. It spoke to my sense of adventure and a belief I could do anything I wanted. I remember shortly after reading this book, I decided I wanted to build a space shuttle. I never did build it, but I still dream! The adventure includes five stories and accompanying activities suitable for children aged three to seven to promote storytelling, communication and language.If you’re anything like me, you’ll remember the World Book Day costume at about 10pm on Wednesday, March 2. Coming in all shapes and sizes, and delighting kids and adults of all ages, books are not only our windows to the world, but the windows to our own souls. Just as colour is a reflection of light, so our own feelings and histories colour in the meaning of a book, refracting the author’s intention through the prism of our own reality. There’s a reason ‘What’s your favourite book?’ is such a common first date question: books can reveal us just as much as they reveal to us. Forgotten about the World Book Day costume?

Top tips for making World Book Day costumes So, on World Books Day, what better question to ask than, of the billions of books in the world, which are the ones we should make sure our kids are reading? The teen years are when studies show that many children – especially boys – are most likely to stop reading for pleasure, so it’s even more important that the volumes we’re recommending are ones that will draw in rather than deter. This World Book Day, we got between the covers with Principals and leaders from the UAE’s top schools, asking them which tomes are most likely to ignite imagination, spark joy and inspire a child or teen’s love of books and reading. Here’s what they had to say… World Book Day: 18 Books every child should read (or have read to them) before they’re 18 My Family and Other Animals, Gerald Durrell Every toddler’s favourite!
