World Storytelling Day is a global celebration of the art of oral storytelling. On World Storytelling Day, as many people as possible tell and listen to stories in as many languages and at as many places as possible, during the same day and night.

What story will YOU be telling, today?

Once upon a time, listening to stories was the greatest fun. Many of the last century parents spent their time with their children telling them stories; especially bedtime stories. It encouraged them to fall in love with reading. Things have changed, and more and more children have no one to read to them. International Read To Me Day was created to remind people how important is it is, to read aloud to little ones.
