For more than 10 years, Olivier award-winning Matilda The Musical has celebrated the joy of reading through Roald Dahl’s book-loving heroine. A special performance from the RSC’s Matilda The Musical will kick off the World Book Day birthday celebrations.
World Book Day Live with Matilda and friends will be hosted by rapper MC Grammar and showcase authors and illustrators supporting World Book Day including two Children’s Laureates, Cressida Cowell and Chris Riddell, Greg James, Chris Smith, Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Humza Arshad, Allen Fatimaharan, Hannah Lee, and two new talents from World Book Day’s #PassThePen initiative with BookTrust Nizrana Farook and Mai
The event will also feature live drawing throughout by Chris Riddell. Please note that the timing of this event is a bit odd. It’s livestreamed at 11am when, surely, all the children who are its target audience are at school but I’m told that the event will be recorded and available to watch subsequently On Demand on the World Book Day YouTube channel.
