Win a Share a Story bundle for World Book Day!

You're invited to help Share a Million Stories!

National Book Tokens are proud to sponsor World Book Day, the nation's biggest celebration of books and reading. 

Share a Million Stories is a campaign that aims to spread the love of reading for pleasure in schools, libraries, bookshops, at home, everywhere and anywhere. Reading for pleasure is in decline; only 29% of 0-13s read for pleasure daily (Egmont, 2019), but we all can help boost it back up and create readers for life.

We're giving one reader the chance to kickstart their story shares with a giant Share a Story bundle. You'll win a set of 12 World Book Day books – from Robin Stevens' The Case of the Drowned Pearl to Onjali Q. Raúf's The Day We Met the Queenplus a set of World Book Day bookmarks illustrated by the amazingly talented Rob Biddulph, a £50/€50 National Book Tokens gift card (perfect for buying even MORE stories to share), and an exclusive Amelia Fang print by one of this year's wonderful World Book Day authors, Laura Ellen Anderson. 4 runners-up will also each win a set of books, a £10/€10 National Book Token and a set of bookmarks. 


Join in on the World Book Day website and start sharing your stories for at least 10 minutes a day. You'll be in with a chance of winning incredible book prizes every week until 29th March, including £100/€120 of National Book Tokens!
