<World Book Day with Rays of Sunshine>

World Book Day for seriously ill children

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.

Get involved with our World Book Day campaigns

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

Rays of Sunshine is working to make sure that seriously ill children aren’t left out by delivering World Book Day boxes and books to hospitals across the UK.

Apply for a World Book Day Box

We have created boxes of World Book Day resources to support children who are in hospital/a hospice. Play teams and medical staff can use these fun materials to support with storytelling, creating positive distractions and experiences for children in their care.

These boxes encourage creative thinking, reading/story telling support and joy to children who need it most.

Buy books for children in hospital
