World Book Day 2026

We were delighted to support primary school children across the country by gifting with thousands of new books World Book Day®.

The books were donated to schools as part of our partnership the National Literacy Trust and aims to help inspire and nurture a love of reading among young pupils. 

Alongside supporting literacy development, the books have been carefully selected to reflect topics relevant to Key Stage 2 pupils, with a focus on promoting positive mental health and emotional wellbeing. The collection includes titles that explore themes such as resilience, friendship, diversity, confidence and managing emotions, helping children to better understand themselves and the world around them.

Jason Vit, Assistant Director of Place-Based working for the National Literacy Trust said, “Children who enjoy reading experience benefits for their academic success, their wellbeing, creativity, and confidence, but our latest research shows that there has been a steep decline in reading engagement.

“Ensuring all children have access to a diverse range of books that engage and excite them through their own interests, hobbies, and experiences is one important way that we can help build a generation of readers, so we are delighted to work with Morrisons to curate this book donation reaching hundreds of school children across the country.”
