Why National Book Month Matters

Reading shapes how children think, feel, and grow. Books do more than keep kids entertained. They help them see the world in new ways, ask questions, and talk about what matters to them. National Book Month celebrates how powerful reading can be in a child’s life.

With screens and quick videos competing for attention, books offer something different. National Book Month encourages children to slow down and enjoy stories that make them think and imagine.

They are invited to:

• Try a new kind of book they have never read before

• Go back to a story that once made them smile or think

• Join a reading group or listen to an author talk to meet other young readers

• Share a favorite book with a friend or family member

  
  

Writers who create stories for kids also find inspiration during this month. Reading different authors can give them new ideas and help them write stories that speak to young readers’ hearts.

National Book Month matters because books help children grow in understanding and kindness. Whether your child picks up a novel, a funny story, or a poem, it opens a door to learning, imagination, and inspiration.
