Yikes! International Book Giving Day 2014 is half way through.

The response has been awesome.

Wonderful articles have appeared; in The Guardian, UK,  Books & Publishing, Australia and DNAIndia, Mumbai …

and you have read this post from Australian Childrens Laureate Jackie French haven’t you?!

Your enthusiasm has been totally infectious.

Enjoy this round up of your wonderful book gifting activities from the last few hours … (more to come later).

Just love this gorgeous smile! International Book Day is VERY exciting, especially when you are clutching Marc Martin's beautiful bookmarks. Thanks to Megan at Children's Book Daily, Australia.
