BIRMINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM, February 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — BBC Blue Peter Gold Badge Winner Jayce Joyce BCyA Publishes First Nationwide Children’s Anthology For World Book Day
BBC Blue Peter Gold Badge recipient and seven-year-old author Jayce Joyce BCyA has traditionally published his groundbreaking children’s anthology, Our Stories, Our World, on February 13, 2026, for World Book Day and the National Year of Reading 2026.
Published by Jayce’s World, the anthology brings together 20 illustrated short stories and poems
written by 20 children aged 6 to 10 from underrepresented backgrounds across the UK. The
collection celebrates diversity, imagination and inclusion, placing children’s voices at the centre of
British children’s literature.
A public launch event will follow on April 11, 2026, at the Library of Birmingham, one of Europe’s
largest public libraries. The event will welcome dignitaries, educators, families and young authors,
with a special unveiling by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham (TBC).
In recognition of Jayce’s impact on literacy and children’s publishing, his BBC Blue Peter Gold
Badge features on the back cover of the anthology, formally acknowledging the achievement
and its direct connection to the book’s mission and values.
Jayce’s work through Books From Children To Children has already reached thousands of young
readers and writers nationwide, providing access to books, creative workshops and educational
resources while encouraging children to see themselves as authors, not just readers.
The launch event may also form part of a Guinness World Record attempt, further underscoring
the national significance and ambition of the project.
Jayce Joyce BCyA said:
“This book shows that children from every background have stories worth sharing. When children
see themselves in books, they fall in love with reading.”
Our Stories, Our World is now available at www.jaycesworld.co.uk, Amazon and mainstream bookshops.
