Spotlight on a Sponsor: Wisdom Tales Press

January 21, 2017 by Valarie Budayr

We have so many things to be grateful and happy for here at MCCBD headquarters. There are so many exciting things in the works right now! But another exciting/gratitude moment is because Multicultural children’s book publisher Wisdom Tales Press is joining us again (for the 4th year!) as one of our Bronze Sponsors!

Wisdom Tales Press

Wisdom Tales is the name of the children’s book imprint of the award-winning publishing house, World Wisdom, which was founded in 1980. Wisdom Tales publishes both children’s and teen titles and was created for the purpose of sharing the wisdom, beauty, and values of traditional cultures and peoples from around the world with young readers and their families.

Welcome MCCBD Bronze Sponsor Author Mahvash Shahegh

January 16, 2016 by Valarie Budayr

Author Mahvash Shahegh

Mahvash Shahegh is an author, educator, researcher, and translator. She has written a book that will be published by Wisdom Tales under the title The Green Musician (coming in August, 2015). It is a children’s book that is being illustrated by Claire Ewart. The Green Musician was translated and adapted from a major Persian epic poem that is over a thousand years old, and Mahvash focused the story in the book on a small segment of the epic poem. The text of Mahvash’s book is not in the form of poetry, but she has managed to maintain the feel of a magical time and place long ago with vivid images of grand royal events, jealous opponents, magnificent gardens, enchanting music and the power of persistence!
author Mahvash ShaheghThe Green Musician: If you had just one chance to achieve your dream, what would you do? In a distant kingdom lived a young musician named Barbad. His one dream was to play before the king in the royal court. But Barbad’s way was blocked by Sarkash, a jealous rival who would do anything to stop Barbad from meeting the king. But perhaps the palace wasn’t the only place to play before the king, for he loved to walk in his garden. What if Barbad was to hide in a tree for just the right moment to play?

Welcome MCCBD Bronze Sponsor Papa Lemon Books!

January 12, 2016 by Valarie Budayr

**Guest post from Becky Flansburg
One of the MANY things I love about being the Project Manager for Multicultural Children’s Book Day (coming 1/27/16) is getting a landslide of simply amazing books to read, review and aprove during the three months leading up to the event.

It’s like Christmas every day when I go to my PO Box. 🙂

This uptick in books is made even sweeter when I come across books/authors from my home state of Minnesota and Lehman Riley from Papa Lemon Books is one such example.
