Today is World Book Day and school children across Essex are set to spend a whole day celebrating books.
The event is the world’s biggest initiate to provide young people in the country with a book of their own.
It is also a great opportunity for youngsters to bring their favourite book characters to life and fundraise at the same time.
Whether your little one is a fan of JK Rowling or the works of Roald Dahl there are a whole host of characters to choose from.

You can send pictures of them in their outfits to be included in our coverage today.
