Five No Brainer Tips to Nurture Cultural Identity and Awareness in Early Childhood – and Why it’s a Must-Do! 

May 24, 2022 by Frances Evans

It’s Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Month all month long, and we are delighted to share with you this guest post from indigrow, MCBD’s May Sponsor of the Month.

“My kid is too young, I don’t need to think we need to talk about cultural identity so soon, right?”

Wrong!

More importantly, the reality is that kids get called out for these obvious differences as early as their preschool and kindergarten years.

Why Diverse Children’s Book Authors Write

October 1, 2021 by Valarie Budayr

Over the last 9+ years as Project Manager for MCBD, I’ve had the honor of working with a wide range of amazing authors who are all striving to create beautiful books that fill a gap and a need.

One thing I know for sure is that, when I ask them why they write diverse books for kids or teens, they never say, “I write books because I want to make a million bucks.”

NEVER.  [Read more…]
