MCBD Book Reviewers: Don’t Forget about Goodreads and Amazon!

October 28, 2021 by Valarie Budayr

Sign up to be a MCBD2022 Book Reviewer is now closed

As our 9th annual event inches closer and October comes to a close, the MCBD Team has been busy preparing and up-leveling this epic online (and offline!) celebration.

Lately, we’ve had many inquiries about “what it takes” to be a book reviewer for Multicultural Children’s Book Day. The main focus behind reviewing a kids’ or YA book in honor of our celebration is to share all of the amazing diverse books, authors, and publishers available with the world. [Read more…]

How MCBD Can Promote Your Diverse Kidlit

July 21, 2021 by Valarie Budayr

Every day the MCBD Team checks our emails, and we are always blown away by the quality and beauty of the upcoming diverse books for kids from new, or veteran, authors. Most of these emails are requests for a book review, and though we are honored, we have to sadly decline.

Here’s why:

The Multicultural Children’s Book Team currently (this could change in the future) does not review books on our blog and social media. Our team is small and there are already just not enough hours in the day for us!

BUT we do have different opportunities available for authors to shine the spotlight on their diverse books and even unique ways to collaborate with us. Some are paid options, some are not. [Read more…]

How to donate a book to Multicultural Children’s Book Day

October 20, 2020 by Valarie Budayr

As you may already know, Multicultural Children’s Book Day (MCBD) is an online and offline celebration that attracts thousands of supporters, educators, parents, caregivers, book reviewers, and quality authors and publishers who join forces to shine the spotlight on diversity in children and YA literature.
Celebrated annually on the last Friday in January, this global non-profit offers a plethora of free resources, teaching tools, booklists, downloads, and a year-around initiative to get multicultural and diverse books into the hands of young readers. To date, we have donated over 8,000 books to underserved kids, classrooms, and organizations, and that number continues to climb.
WE COULD NOT CONTINUE THIS WORK if it wasn’t for our book donators!

SO, if you are a publisher or an author of multicultural books for children, and you would like to get your book into the hands of deserving teachers, librarians, parents, and young readers, HERE’s HOW.

How to donate a book to Multicultural Children’s Book Day

Any diverse books that are generously donated to this non-profit are used for giveaways, donations to underserved organizations, Twitter Party Prizes (heavily attended by educators), and our FREE Diverse Books for Classrooms Project.

Your information will not be sold or shared with any non-MCBD personnel unless approved by the donator.

All donators of review copies will be recognized on the Multicultural Children’s Book Day site and within the final Sponsorship report.

NOTE: These donated books will be gifted to young readers, parents, and educators. There is no guarantee your donated book will be reviewed during the event.

****The address of where to send your books is included in the below Google Sign-up Form.

 

OTHER Ways to Get Involved in Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2021

1. Book Donation: Creators can donate books that will be reviewed and shared on social media.

2. Sponsorships: Sponsorships are directly connected to the yearly celebration itself and are a great way to tap into the hundreds-of-thousands of views our social media channels get from November to February 1. We have sponsorships at a variety of price points to fit any budget. All levels of Sponsorships for MCBD 2021 will open up September 1.

3. Do a Social Shout Out for your book or Favorite Author’s Book: Shout Outs are a one-time social media push on an author/diverse book’s behalf. Our Social Shout Outs are available all year long and act as a fundraiser for our Free Books for Classrooms Project. See samples of how awesome our Social Shout Out images look HERE.

4. Join our Exclusive 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!

5. Be a Book Reviewer: We are always looking for people who would love a free diverse book in exchange for an honest review on social media during the month of January. If this is something you are interested in, subscribe to the MCBD blog and we will let you know as soon as the reviewer sign up is open September 1.
