Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2022 Recap

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-round initiative to get multicultural and diverse books into the hands of young readers. To date, they have donated over 10K books to underserved kids, classrooms, and organizations, and that number continues to climb. To learn more about MCBD, visit them on the web and be follow their official hashtag #ReadYourWorld on social media.

SO…if you love diverse books for kids and have a social media platform to share a review on, we want to give you a FREE diverse kidlit or YA book to review!

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.

That being said, the main criteria for being an MCBD reviewer are:

  1. Have a love for diversity in children’s literature.
  2. Have a place to share a review of the book you are assigned.

The “sharing” part can take many forms and even though sharing on social media and using our official hashtag of #ReadYourWorld is our favorite, reviewers are also welcome to share their reviews on sites like Goodreads, Amazon, and even in offline settings like classrooms, daycares, community gatherings, and libraries.

Here are ways/places for you to share a book review in honor of MCBD2022:

Blogs

Facebook (Pages only-no Facebook profiles)

Twitter (Private Accounts are not Eligible)

Pinterest

Instagram (Private Accounts are not Eligible)

YouTube

TikTok

Amazon

Goodreads

Classroom or Library Read Alouds

With that, we are proud to introduce our new Book Reviewer Sign-Up program and we also encourage book lovers far-n-wide to sign up for a free diverse book to review for our 1/28/22 event!

P.S. Spread the word!!

Readers, parents, teachers, librarians, and caregivers are coming together to explore lots of books with diverse content and share their thoughts and feedback via book reviews, book lists, and links.

SECOND, a giant networking event —
This global event connects readers, caregivers, educators, librarians, non-profits, organizations, sponsors, co-hosts, bloggers, and thought leaders so we can all achieve a common goal of raising awareness on the importance of diversity in children’s and YA literature.

Through MCBD initiatives like the FREE Diverse Books for Classrooms Project, The Offline Classroom Swag Pack,  and continued outreach to underserved readers, proceeds raised during the course of this online event (and all year-long) go towards getting free multicultural books in locations where they are needed and into the hands of young readers.
