Each year on March 28th, children's picture books are taken off shelves to warm the hearts of the young and old alike. Whether it’s counting books, alphabet books, nursery rhyme books, pop-up books, or board books, children's picture books combine images and simple words that are easily able to be understood. Children's Picture Book Day was created in 1967 by the International Board on Books for Young People. They selected the 28th of March because that was the date on which John Comenius was born in 1592, and he is known for creating the first children’s picture book. Today is a celebration of not only children’s picture books but also of the imagination and the impossible. #ChildrensPictureBookDay
