Books came alive and imaginations soared as Delhi Public School Bopal celebrated World Book and Copyright Day with vibrant enthusiasm, nurturing a deep-rooted love for reading among students across all grades.
The highlight of the event was an inspiring interaction with noted author and communication coach Pooja Saran, who captivated young minds through storytelling and meaningful conversations. Addressing students across age groups, she emphasised the power of words, creativity and emotional expression.
Sharing her perspective, Pooja Saran said, “Storytelling is not just about narrating tales, it is a powerful way to understand ourselves and express our emotions. When children read and write, they begin to discover their own voice.”
Encouraging students to explore their inner creativity, she added, “Books open doors to imagination and self-discovery. Every child has a story within—reading helps them shape it, and writing gives it life.”
For the youngest learners in Grades I and II, the day was filled with excitement as they explored colourful class libraries, shared their favourite characters and learned to value books as lifelong companions. Students from Grades III to V immersed themselves in interactive reading sessions, exchanging ideas about their favourite books and even writing heartfelt letters to beloved literary characters.
Senior students from Grades VI to XII engaged in a wide spectrum of creative activities—from bookmark making and comic strip creation to book presentations, cover designing and character sketching. The popular DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) sessions encouraged them to pause, reflect and simply enjoy the magic of reading.
The celebration concluded on a high note, reinforcing the importance of reading not just as a skill, but as a habit that nurtures imagination, empathy and lifelong learning.
