O "Dia Internacional do Livro Infantil" celebra-se no dia 2 de abril, data do nascimento do escritor dinamarquês, Hans Christian Andersen. Neste data chama-se a atenção para a importância da leitura e para o papel fundamental dos livros para a infância.
Todos os anos é divulgada uma mensagem de incentivo à leitura. Este ano a mensagem do IBBY internacional: "Muitas Culturas Uma Só História" é da responsabilidade dos Emirados Árabes.
Many Cultures One Story 
“We speak many languages and come from different backgrounds, Yet we share the same stories” 
International stories... folklore stories 
It’s the same story told to us all 
In different voices 
In different colors 
Yet it remains unchanged...  
Beginning... 
Plot... 
And End... 
It is the same story we all know & love  
We all heard it 
In different versions by different voices  
Yet it is always the same 
There is a hero... a princess... & a villain 
No matter their language Their names 
Or their faces 
It is always the same Beginning, 
Plot 
And Ending 
Always that hero...that princess and that villain 
Unchanged through centuries 
They keep us company 
They whisper to us in our dreams  
They lull us to sleep  
Their voices long gone 
But they live in our hearts forever 
For they bring us together in a land of mystery and imagination 
So that all different cultures melt into One Story
