Planning for MCBD2019 is already underway and we can’t help being in awe as to how far this non-profit initiative has come.
Mission: Raise awareness for children’s books that celebrate diversity by getting more of these books into classrooms and libraries. Multicultural Children’s Book Day is celebrated on the last Friday of January. 2019 will be our 6th year and in the last two years, the event has pulled in over 3 billion social media share impressions in three days (day before, day of, and day after) and our Twitter Party on the day of the celebration always trends.
From October through February, Multicultural Children’s Book Day is especially active on social media and the buzz surrounding this event gets national even global support and recognition. The whirlwind that is Multicultural Children’s Book Day is a proven way to get books into the hands of young readers while also raising awareness with parents, caregivers, teachers, and librarians.
Medallion Level Sponsorship options will be available by September 1, 2018…but in the meantime…
