16th October International Bread Day

It is a day to celebrate everything to do with bread and bakers. I have written about this day before, but it was a long time ago in 2012. This is a day dedicated to a very traditional food all over the world, in order to raise awareness of its nutritional value and its great importance in our diet.

Like most things, it is easy to celebrate this day with reference to picture books. Here's some good ones to start with:
