Diverse Children’s Book Reviewers -We need you for MCBD2020! (1/31/20)
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 diversity book to review!
In a nutshell; you don’t have to be a blogger to review multicultural children’s books for our MCBD 2020 online event. You just need to have a love of diversity in children’s literature and be willing to share on your social media platforms such as Facebook (Pages only), Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, or YouTube.
**We encourage honest Amazon reviews of assigned books whenever possible as well.
SIGN UP HERE to be a MCBD2020 book reviewer or use the embedded form below before 12/15/19.
How it All Works: Information for our valued Reviewers During a Multicultural Children’s Book Day Event
Reviewers can sign up via a Google Sign-up and review a multicultural children’s book for this event.
Reviewers are then “matched” with an author or publisher that will supply them with a free children’s book to review. Reviewers are encouraged to read the books and share their thoughts on the book (a basic book review) in the form of a complete review post that can (optional) contain fun book-related activities that will bring the story to life.
We ask that our reviewers always give an honest review, mention the book and author by name and disclose that they were gifted in the book in honor of Multicultural Children’s Book Day’s online (and off!) event on the last Friday in January.
Once their book review post is live (any time between January 1 and January 31), reviewers are invited to “link up” their blog post on the Linky that will be found on any of our CoHosts’ sites and also the MCCBD website. This linky will go live on January 31st..
Reviewer sign-up deadline is 12/25/19 (NOTE: We will not be shipping out any books for the 2020 online event until Nov/Dec of 2019!)
