World Book Day 2022 - send us your photos as the big day arrives

After weeks of planning and preparation World Book Day is here again.

It's the day when thousands of children dress up as their favourite book characters in a worldwide celebration of books and reading.

Schools, nurseries and libraries will be taking part in the event, which this year celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Cheadle twins Poppy and Heidi Grinsted are always a big hit with readers and we've featured them in previous years, as everything from the Little Miss Twins and Thing 1 and Thing 2 to the Care Bears and Julia Donaldson's Day and Night Monkey.

Now the 10-year-old girls have gone all out once again and have teamed up with their younger brothers Freddie, seven, and Albie, five, to become The Borrowers.

With the help of mum Charlotte, they've made all their props themselves.

"Everything we have made we have done with what we had around the house," said Charlotte. "It cost about £19 for all four. I'm in love with the pencil and match box.

"This is potentially my favourite one that we've ever done."

We know what hard work you parents put into making and buying the costumes so we don't want that to go unnoticed.

We want you to share your photos with us so that we can share them in our bumper online gallery.

Upload your photos using the form in the article here and not only could they appear online, but they'll also be printed in our World Book Day photo special.

Tell us what character your child has dressed as and where you live and they will have a starring role in our supplement.
