Every child deserves to experience the magic of World Book Day, but for many seriously ill children in hospitals, this special day can feel out of reach.

What is the World Book Day Amazon Wishlist Campaign?

World Book Day is a time for children to dream, imagine, and escape into magical worlds.

Rays of Sunshine has partnered with Amazon Business to make it simpler than ever to bring World Book Day joy to children during difficult times.

By buying a book from our Amazon Wishlist, you can help us send books directly to hospitals and hospices, so no child misses out.

Looking back at the Amazon Wishlist Christmas Toy Appeal

Last Christmas, Rays of Sunshine partnered with Amazon Business to make it simpler than ever to bring joy to children during difficult times.

By choosing items directly from our curated wishlist, our supporters sent gifts directly to brighten the lives of seriously and terminally ill children spending Christmas in hospital and hospices.

Thanks their generosity, this campaign delivered 186 toys and gifts worth £2,075.37  to spread Christmas joy across the UK.
