An Interview with Multicultural Children’s Author Margarita Engle!

December 22, 2014 by Valarie Budayr

We are so excited to talk to Margarita Engle today for our Multicultural Children’s Book Author spotlight series!

Margarita Engle

Question 1: What is your favorite letter of the alphabet and why?

That’s such a fascinating question!  It makes me feel four years old.  I will admit that I love M because it looks like mountains.  On the other hand, even though S is not my favorite letter, I somehow end up with many book titles that begin with S images, such as Surrender Tree, Summer Birds, Silver People…

We’re Featured in Publishers Weekly!!

December 21, 2014 by Valarie Budayr

Publishers Weekly

We are thrilled to have Multicultural Children’s Book Day featured in Publishers Weekly:

Next month, more than 100 bloggers affiliated with parenting, education, and children’s blogs will review a selection of diverse and multicultural books on their respective blogs. The reviews will be promoted and shared by Jump Into a Book and the day’s nine “powerhouse” co-[hosts] with more than two million followers total across social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Google+. The participating bloggers will also share reviews with their respective followers. There will be giveaways and children’s activities as well throughout the day.

This is the second year January 27 has been designated as MCCBD; it debuted on January 27, 2014.

The mission of MCCBD, co-founders Wenjen and Budayr explained to PW, is to “not only raise awareness for the kid’s books that celebrate diversity, but to get more of these types of books into classrooms and libraries.

The day will also include a Twitter Party, with the hashtag #ReadYourWorld, and a Google+ Hangout. A book drive that kicked off the week before Thanksgiving will benefit literacy nonprofit organization First Book’s donations of books to underserved communities.

Spotlight on a Sponsor! Muslim Writers Publishing

December 20, 2014 by Valarie Budayr

Muslim Writers Publishing was established in 2006 by Linda Delgado, the author of the Islamic Rose series. Ms. Delgado saw a need for quality fiction books written for the growing Muslim population in the United States. She ran the business and performed the services at her own expense in order to support Muslim English-language writers, who are a sort of fledgling class in an emerging genre.   In early 2013, Ms. Delgado passed the business to Debora McNichol.

Please welcome (in alphabetical order):

Tracey Baptiste was born in Trinidad, where she grew up on jumbie stories and fairy tales. Her debut, a young adult novel titled Angel’s Grace, was named one of the 100 best books for reading and sharing by New York City librarians. Tracey is a former teacher, textbook editor, ballerina, and amateur librarian who once started up a library in her house in the hope that everyone would bring their books back late and she would be rich! You know, like other librarians. She is now a wife and mom and lives in New Jersey, where she writes and edits books for kids from a very cozy office in her house that is filled with more toys than she can count. The Jumbies is her second novel.
