Dear Editor
Each year, World Book Day aims to encourage children to read for pleasure by celebrating the world of literature and providing a range of free books for young readers of all levels to choose from.
2025 is no different, with 14 new titles lined up ahead of the big day on 6 March, and RNIB Cymru are once again on hand to ensure blind and partially sighted children in Wales can join in the fun by making books available in a range of accessible formats.
Whether it’s audio or braille, we’re committed to upholding the values of World Book Day and letting children Read Their Way, no matter their preferred way of enjoying their favourite books.
All of this year’s titles are included, from those aimed at younger readers like ‘The Adventures of Paddington: Farm Escape!’ to young adult fiction thriller ‘This Story is a Lie’ by Benjamin Dean.
There’s also a Welsh language book: ‘Gwyrdd ein Byd’ by Duncan Brown and Helen Flook, which delves into the fascinating world of Welsh wildlife.
I’m so excited for young people with vision impairments and their families to share the joy of reading. They can order their braille and audio books via the RNIB Helpline on 0303 123 9999. Gwyrdd ein Byd is also available from RNIB Cymru in large print.
Yours sincerely
Emma Jones
Transcription Manager, RNIB Cymru
