An Instagram Live Interview with Annette Pimentel Bay & Magaly Morales

September 24, 2021 by Valarie Budayr

One of the many missions of MCBD is to always be shining the spotlight on authors of diverse kidlit. Thanks to the talents of MCBD Team Member and long-time CoHost, Leanna Guillen-Mora, we are excited to announce the addition of a reoccurring Instagram Live feature! Every Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. ET., followers can tune in and learn more about these amazing authors and their books.

Here’s a look at who Leanna interviewed this week!

Leanna talked with author Amanda Bay Pimentel about her new picture book about the life of Pura Belpré, perfect for Hispanic Heritage Month!

Did you know that Belpré was the first to hold bilingual storytimes at the library? Or that her children’s book was the first Spanish language book for children published by a major US publisher?


Medallion and Author level Sponsorships for MCBD2022 are OPEN!

{DON’T DELAY! The sooner you lock in your spot, the more time we have to promote you!}

Sponsorship is a great way to support our non-profit initiative while tapping into some amazing visibility and exposure for authors and publishers of diverse board books, picture books, chapter books, and YA.

January 28, 2022, will mark the 9th year of Multicultural Children’s Book Day’s (MCBD) quest to get culturally diverse books into the hands of children, parents, teachers, and librarians.

GO HERE to download our Sponsorship Packet and see what your Platinum or Author Sponsorship for 2022 will include.


 

“MCBD has been an ally to an author like me. Long before everyone was talking about the need to be an ally. Not all of us protest or speak up in the same way. When looking for a way to help- a way to make a real systemic difference- consider joining  Multicultural Children’s Book Day’s initiative to shine the spotlight on deserving authors and publishers so their books can ultimately get into the hands of readers and on school and home bookshelves. Multicultural Children’s Book Day is in it for the long haul because they know they need to make strategic and lasting changes to the children’s book industry.”~Author Deedee Cummings
