Get your costumes ready for World Book Day 2018

Book lovers everywhere are celebrating World Book Day on Thursday March 1 by dressing up as their favourite story characters.

The event, now in its 21st year, celebrates authors, illustrators and, of course, books.

It’s an opportunity to inspire a love of reading in students, and also for pupils and teachers to dress up as their favourite fictional characters.

Now is the time for you to get creative and channel your favourite character too as we’d love to see what you’re wearing for your costumes.

The Falkirk Herald are encouraging readers to get involved on our Facebook page today (Thursday March 1) by sending us photographs of your best World Book Day costumes.
