International Children’s
Book Day
Everyone knows about All Fools Day on April 1 and
Easter on April 7 this year, but did you know April 2
is International Children's Book Day? It’s celebrated
on the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen, born April
2, 1805, in Denmark. Andersen made his fame from his
imaginative fairy tales, such as “The Ugly Duckling,”
“The Little Mermaid,” and “The Emperor’s New
Clothes." He’d originally hoped to become an actor, but
was unsuccessful. His poems caught the attention of
King Frederick VI, who agreed to educate
him at public expense, and then agreed to %£*
an educational travel leave.
“Get your facts first, then
you can distort them as you
please. " - Mart Twain
