Multicultural Children’s Book Day ebook: Fundraising for Teachers and Readers
By now kids are back to school and teachers and librarians are beginning another year of sometimes one of the hardest jobs on earth.
MCBD has always worked very hard to support teachers with free resources, free classroom kits, and free diverse books, but now we want to give YOU a way to help them as well! In 2017, MCBD published its first-ever ebook filled with multicultural book resources and recommendations.
