World Book Day came from a Spanish tradition - 23 April has always been celebrated as Te Rose Day in Spain. On this day, people exchanged roses for showing their love and
support, much like Valentine’s Day. However, in 1926, when Miguel de Cervantes died, people exchanged books instead of roses in order to commemorate the great author’s death. Te tradition
