MCCBD2016 Recap and some big Thank You’s
We did it!
Our third Multicultural Children’s Book Day: #ReadYourWorld {January 27th} was a HUGE success again!! Over 170+ bloggers , 21 major sponsors, over 70 Author Sponsors, a boatload of generous book donators and many, many authors, teachers, parents, readers and librarians showed up to read, visit and enjoy the multicultural book titles, discussions and book-related activities!
Here are some highlights from our 2016 event, but first, some thoughts from the Multicultural Children’s Book Day Team
