Children in Mansfield and Ashfield celebrate World Book Day with some inventive costumes

Children got into the World Book Day spirit by dressing up as their favourite characters.

Every year, we invite Chad readers to share photos of World Book Day characters from around the community.

World Book Day is an annual global celebration of reading and books, occurring every March.

This day was established in 1995 by UNESCO.

Here is a selection of some of our favourite submitted photos this year.

We received more than 100 submissions so unfortunately we’re unable to include them all in this gallery, however, visit our Facebook page, Mansfield Chad, to see more.
