Help Us Help Teachers! {Plus More Free Books and Resources}

November 17, 2020 by Valarie Budayr

Gratitude is Alive and Well

On December 1, 2020, Multicultural Children’s Book Day will participate (for the first time!) in #GivingTuesday, a global day of celebrations and generosity.

#GivingTuesday is an opportunity for people worldwide to stand together in unity while also supporting causes that touch their hearts.

This Giving Tuesday, MCBD wants to rally our supporters, reviewers, authors, and sponsors to help us help teachers by sending a free book of their classroom bookshelf via our FREE Diverse Books for Teachers and Classrooms. We have hundreds of schools waiting patiently for a multicultural YA, chapter, or picture book for their students.

How can you help? Go to our #GivingTuesday Page on the MCBD website and choose your level of giving. 

Did you know that a $120 Donation will help MCBD get 20 books to teachers/schools? It’s no secret that in-person schooling is a struggle right now thanks to an unprecedented global pandemic. Our teachers and principals are among some of the many unsung heroes in our children’s lives. A gift of a brand-new diverse book for their classroom bookshelf could be a much-needed bright spot in their day.

Imagine the smiles. The joy. The gratitude. Imagine the awe and wonder when a young reader can “see themselves” in the pages of the book they are reading! 

Join us on #GivingTuesday, and let’s rally to keep kids reading while lending a helping hand to one of our many unsung heroes: TEACHERS.

Go here to help us, help teachers! 

Would you like a FREE diverse YA or picture book for your school library or classroom bookshelf? Then be sure and sign up for The Multicultural Children’s Book Day FREE Diverse Books for Classrooms Campaign–

Multicultural Children’s Book Day is a global non-profit with a mission of raising awareness for the importance of diversity in the books our kids read. They also want to help educators build their classroom library with diverse, inclusive, and multicultural books so GO HERE to learn more! 

We also offer a limited number of free Offline Classroom Swag Packs to help schools celebrate our book-ish holiday with their students.

The 2021 Offline Classroom and Library Event Project

Our annual on and offline celebration is celebrated the last Friday in January and our next celebration is 1/29/21 and the money we raise goes towards funding these programs 365 days a year. Learn more here.
