World Book Day, also known as International Day of the Book and World Book and Copyright Day, is celebrated annually on April 23. In 1995, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) created World Book Day to encourage “everyone, and in particular young people, to discover the pleasure of reading and gain a renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those who have furthered the social and cultural progress of humanity.”

He wanted to remind educators to teach students that punctuation matters.
