Reading Your World via an Online Children’s Book Celebration

November 21, 2018 by Valarie Budayr

Six years!

Can you believe MCBD is in its SIXTH YEAR?! The Multicultural Children’s Book Day team couldn’t be proud of the success we’ve achieved and the people we’ve touched along the way.

Need marketing help for your multicultural children’s or YA book?

May 16, 2018 by Valarie Budayr

If you feel like you are shouting into the void when it comes to marketing your multicultural children’s or YA book, we have an idea that just may be the ticket!

Book launches and special author events are a great marketing tool and an excellent time to gain the visibility that is critical to driving traffic and selling books. That’s why MCBD is offering a limited-time chance for publishers and authors to leverage the buzz and reach of our site and social media for their own campaigns.

Our highly successful online event garners HUGE social media share impressions from January 25 through January 27th and the buzz continues all year-long. We also love any opportunity to support diverse book authors while also keeping interesting book-related information in front of our social following and loyal readership.

With that in mind, we’ve created our new Multicultural Children’s Book Day Sponsored Post Package as a way to leverage our robust 260,000 strong social media following and give authors and books the boost they need. 

(option now OPEN until September 2019)

Sponsored Post Package

Intrigued? We hope so! Our Sponsored Post option is only available Feb-September so don’t delay. You can find examples of Sponsored Post that we’ve recently completed here …

…and here. Good stuff 🙂

Want to Get Started?

To begin collaboration with Multicultural Children’s Book Day, please contact Becky (at) MulticulturalChildrensBookDay (dot)  com or visit the MCBD site HERE to get the full scoop on this clever marketing option.

Hope to hear from you soon and don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions 🙂

Spotlight on a Bronze Sponsor: Author Charlotte Riggle

January 24, 2017 by Valarie Budayr

Author Charlotte Riggle

Charlotte Riggle is a writer and a reader and a passionate advocate of picture books. Her first book, Catherine’s Pascha, is as beautiful as Pascha itself, with words that sparkle and illustrations that glow with the joy of the feast. Catherine doesn’t like vegetables. She doesn’t like naps. She doesn’t like it when her mom combs her hair. She loves hot dogs, chocolate cake, and her best friend, Elizabeth. Most of all, she loves Pascha! Pascha, the Orthodox Christian Easter, is celebrated in the middle of the night, with processions and candles and bells and singing. And Catherine insists that she’s not a bit sleepy.
