World Book Day 2022 in the Channel Islands: Your photos


People around the world have been getting involved in World Book Day - a global celebration of the magical power of reading.

In a bid to help children embrace the joys of a good book, they are encouraged to dress up as their favourite literary characters every year - and the Channel Islands are no exception.

Thanks to our viewers, we have had just about everything - from monster slaying warriors to bunnies, from fairies to Gangsta Grannies.

Check out our gallery below.
