The International Children's Book Day

     Today, is the International Children's Book Day.  This day is yearly celebrated on or near April 2nd to commemorate the birth of Hans Christian Andersen's birthday.

    Andersen wrote many of the stories that still today are enjoyed by children and adults.  He wrote "The Little Mermaid", "The Ugly Duckling" "Thumbelina" and "The Snow Queen".  There are many sites that have Andersen's stories available for your enjoyment such as Andersen's Fairy Tales by Planet PDF

Enjoy this day sharing books with your children and loved ones.  During this week, we will share more about Andersen and his contribution to children's literature.
