The celebration will kick off with a series of engaging challenges, including den making and comic strip design. Exclusive author visits from Anita Frost, the creator of the multi-award-winning Green Bean, will also take place in selected schools.
To participate in these exciting World Book Day challenges, simply visit any Wigan library. There, children can pick up comic strips, learn more about Green Bean, or borrow Green Bean books.

Supporting Early Years Development
This partnership has been formed to directly support Wigan’s early years sector, which is currently facing significant challenges:
  • Slower improvement in child development compared to national trends.
  • Significant workforce shortages leading to instability among providers.
  • Concerning gaps in school readiness, particularly for disadvantaged children.

The Green Bean Difference
Uniquely built on 20 years of child development research, Green Bean was created to have the same wide appeal as globally popular characters. The key distinction is that Green Bean is specifically designed to meet all the requirements for successfully boosting children's development, ensuring they become school-ready, encouraging focused learning and play, and promoting outdoor adventures.

The "Green Bean" brand was created to prepare children for school by integrating play, learning, and engaging outdoor activities. This initiative addresses the significant and growing global issue of child development delays, which impacts millions of young children, particularly in low-income countries. These delays hinder physical, social, emotional, and behavioural skills. Since 2018, this problem has worsened dramatically, increasing by 60% due to factors like poverty, stress, environmental toxins (such as PCBs), and a lack of early intervention support.
