Today is International Children’s Book Day!
At the Luís Figo Foundation, we believe that a book can be the beginning of great dreams. Reading stimulates creativity, strengthens values, and opens doors to knowledge — essential pillars for the development of our children.
On this special day, we challenge you to celebrate with the little ones through simple, fun, and educational activities that promote a love for reading:
Activities to do as a family or at school:
Story Time: Choose a book with values such as friendship, inclusion, or courage and read with the children.
Creative Bookmarks: Create personalized bookmarks with drawings, collages, and messages.
Online Exploration: Visit Portuguese digital libraries and discover new books together.
Reading Suggestions You’ll Find in Portugal:
The Hedgehog in Spring – a sensitive story about friendship and change.
I Like You (Almost Always) by Anna Llenas – a book about accepting differences.
An Adventure in the Amazon – for curious little explorers.
Traditional Portuguese Tales – cultural heritage passed down from generation to generation.
Together, let’s raise lifelong readers — with stories that inspire, values that transform, and smiles that grow page by page.
