National Share-a-Story Month
National Share-A-Story Month (NSSM) is an annual celebration of the power of storytelling and story sharing, providing a fantastic opportunity to fulfil the core aim of the FCBG of bringing children and stories together. Across the country Federation book groups and individuals run a whole host of events. Each year we are inspired by a specific theme and work with different organisations to provide people with resources and opportunities.
National Share a Story Month 2025
At the Federation, we believe in the power of stories to generate positive change, so our theme for 2025 is Changing the World, One Book at a Time. This year, we are celebrating the rich seam of writing for children inspired by the global need for environmental awareness and responsibility.
There will be plenty of ways for you to get involved. Full details of competitions and activity packs will be posted here shortly. We are especially excited that this year’s fabulous national competition prizes will be awarded to the best community reading event. Fix a date in your calendar now.
Our new booklist, packed with recommendations of environmentally themed books will be published here on May 1st and throughout May the FCBG blog will be featuring some of our favourite authors and titles from the list.
