Bilingual Read Alouds – The Power of Bilingual, Personalized Picture Books

December 2, 2021 by Valarie Budayr

Why Bilingual Read Alouds can be a savior when it comes to maintaining your bilingual child’s home language. We all like to hear that kids are like sponges, especially when it comes to learning a second or third language, right?

Well…think again, unfortunately, this is not true, as every parent trying to raise kids in more than one language will tell you, it actually takes quite a bit of effort, especially once the kids start to attend a creche, pre-school, or school with a majority language different to the home language.  Suddenly, that home language your kids were so amazingly fluent in, starts to crack. But relax, it happens in the best of bilingual families 🤪 and you have done nothing wrong. [Read more…]

More Free Options for Diverse Book Promotion

1. We encourage authors and publishers to join the private MCBD Facebook Group. This group is a nice mix of parents, book reviewers, teachers, and authors, so you will be able to connect with like-minded people!

2. We are always looking for quality, diverse book-related guest posts on the MCBD blog. We would love to know more about your author’s journey, why you wrote your new book, and more about the book itself. Reach out to admin@multiculturalchildrensbookday.com to request a copy of our guest blogger guidelines.

3. We are tentatively planning some Facebook Lives during December and January in honor of MCBD2022 so that could be an opportunity for you as well.

We believe that ALL authors have something unique and wonderful with their work. We believe that ALL authors deserve to be able to shout the news of their book from the rooftops!

So let us know if we can work together in some fashion and, as always, do not hesitate to ask if there are any details that we can clarify for you.

Gender stereotypes – Not again!

November 14, 2021 by Valarie Budayr

Guest post by Lisa Wee

No matter which part of the world you’re from, you’d have been told how to behave like a boy or a girl from a very young age.

At the age of 5, I got my first dungaree. I wore it whenever I could because of the sense of comfort and freedom it gave me. It gave me the opportunity to track through mud, run, and climb trees with my brothers.

Then a new world started to appear around me. “Don’t be so tomboy, Lisa.” As a 5-year-old, I didn’t understand the word but I could sense the disapproval that went with it in the odd looks exchanged between the adults. [Read more…]

Author Visit | African Diaspora within the Americas!

November 10, 2021 by Valarie Budayr

Guest Post by author C.Nichole

Growing up, we were taught about the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The history textbooks made it, and still make it seem, as Americans of African descent only have a history that starts at slavery. And then after that, it teaches about all the struggles through Jim Crow, civil rights movements, etc. but never about the people as a whole, no cultural references. I am an American of African descent. As a child, I can’t recall knowing that people of African descent were in North and South America anywhere other than the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. I didn’t know until about my mid 20’s that the term “African Diaspora” even existed, which is people of African descent that don’t live on or weren’t born on the African continent. [Read more…]
