Highlights and Discussion from the MCBD2018 #ReadYourWorld Twitter Party

January 28, 2018 by Valarie Budayr

As always, the 2018MCBD Twitter Party was a ton of fun and a huge success. The discussions and sharing of book titles, lists and resources did not disappoint. Here are the 12 Twitter Party Qs and A’s from this very special hour:

Questions:

Q1: Share some recent diverse, multicultural and inclusive books that you’ve read with your kids. #ReadYourWorld

Q2: What kinds of diverse characters/themes/topics would you like to see more of in children’s books? #ReadYourWorld

Q3: While the number of children’s books of a diverse nature have gone up in recent years to 28%, those by people of color/Native authors remain at 6%. How do you feel about this?
