“Books are like a window onto another world – with each new page, they introduce us to new people, new cultures and new ideas. Every year, on 23 April, UNESCO celebrates World Book and Copyright Day to recognize the power of books as a bridge between generations and across cultures.This date holds immense symbolism in world literature, marking the death of several renowned authors, including William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega.” – (UNESCO, 2025)

Today, we celebrate the remarkable 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀—their power to inspire minds,
educate hearts, and weave connections across time and space. Be it a timeless
classic, a pulse-pounding thriller, or a mind-expanding work of non-fiction, books
possess the unparalleled gift of whisking us away to new realms while quietly
stretching the limits of our understanding.

Let us also tip our hats to 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁—the unsung guardian of literary
creativity—safeguarding the imagination, effort, and artistry of authors, illustrators,
and publishers alike.
