World Book Day 2021 might be a little different to previous years but we are more determined than ever to help you celebrate a love of books and shared reading, with ideas and resources that can be enjoyed both at home and at school.
This year, a new single-use digital version of the £1 WBD token can be printed at home or shown to selected booksellers on a phone or tablet screen.

Booksellers such as Sainsbury’s and Asda are unable to accept the voucher on a phone or tablet screen. For all other booksellers, please check before you visit.
The £1 book tokens can then be swapped for one of the exclusive, new and completely FREE World Book Day books available from participating booksellers or used to get £1 off any full price book or audiobook instead (as long as the book or audiobook costs at least £2.99) The World Book Day book tokens cannot be used for online purchases.
World Book Day book tokens will be valid from Thursday 18 February – Sunday 28 March 2021. In 2021 participating booksellers will welcome families when they open again, the tokens will be honoured beyond 28 March – while stocks last.
