NATIONAL OPEN THE MAGIC DAY

What are confetti moments? A confetti moment is when a child or adult relates to a point in a story that brings them great joy and a place where they belong. Everyone from two to one hundred two enjoys picture books! And everyone has a confetti moment waiting when you Open the Magic.

National Open The Magic Day is also a reminder to thank the parents and teachers who do everything they can to help children become who they were meant to be. Every day they work together to give children the gift of reading. Their gift also helps to build a safe place for every child to feel loved.

HOW TO OBSERVE #OpenTheMagicDay

On September 25th and every day, Open the Magic! There are so many ways to bring the gift of reading and enjoy those confetti moments.

• Read the OPEN THE MAGIC picture book of the year.
• Read your favorite picture book to your class or child.
• Invite authors virtually to your classroom.
• Have your school get involved and do a school read aloud.
• Create a themed meal around a favorite picture book.

Share your celebration using #OpenTheMagicDay on social media. Never give up on your students. Every single one has magic in their hearts. Be the teacher or parent who says, “Open The Magic!”

NATIONAL OPEN THE MAGIC HISTORY

In 2021, Courtney Hinshaw, founder of Ramona Recommends, created National Open The Magic Day to encourage parents, teachers, and students to find their confetti moments all around them. She also wanted to give back to her community and share her love of picture books with anyone who loves books. In third grade, Courtney was diagnosed with dyslexia and an auditory processing disorder. She grew up a struggling reader but loved books. Because of her parents, teachers, and her perseverance, she became a reader. There isn’t a day that goes by that she does not think about that little girl in 5th grade trying to read.

The Registrar at National Day Calendar proclaimed the first National Open the Magic Day to be observed on September 25, 2021.
