MULTICULTURAL BOOK DAY THEME SONG (a.k.a #ReadYourWorld)

 

INTRO:

Annie: Hey Everyone! Glad you’re here! Did you bring your books with you?

KID #1: (AMANDA) Yeah! I’ve got a great Multicultural Book to share!

KID#2: (WILL): Me TOO!

KID #3 (HAILEY): “Me THREE!”

KID #4: (HAVANA) “Me FOUR!”

Annie: Well then let’s get started. Listeners, do you have your books ready?

Here we are,
On this most auspicious day,
Wanna hear what you have to say,
So won’t you share a good read, a multicultural good read?

When you look in a book (KIDS: YEAH YEAH YEAH)
Tell me, tell me what do you see?
Are there protagonists that look like you (KID #4: HAVANA): “I think so?”
Are the some that look like me?

We each deserve adventure we can relate to
So share your book, don’t be shy,
That’s why we’re here today, cause it’s

CHORUS: (ALL KIDS SING WITH ANNIE)

Multicultural Children’s Book Day
MCBD if it’s too hard to say.
Multicultural Children’s Book Day,
Read Your World, Hashtag Read Your World

And it’s Multicultural Children’s Book Day
MCBD if it’s too hard to say.
Multicultural Children’s Book Day,
Read Your World, Hashtag Read Your World

When we try to see through the eyes of others we find,
Empathy, love, and kindness,
And so we happily say, that it’s

CHORUS: (ALL KIDS SING WITH ANNIE)

Multicultural Children’s Book Day
MCBD if it’s too hard to say.
Multicultural Children’s Book Day,
Read Your World, Hashtag Read Your World

And it’s Multicultural Children’s Book Day
MCBD if it’s too hard to say.
Multicultural Children’s Book Day,
Read Your World, Hashtag Read Your World

(ANNIE & KIDS)
Every Person’s like a chapter,
We’re all in the same book
At the library or store it’s happening take a look
Books that recognize and celebrate diversity
Children’ reading, filled with wonder
Saying “LOOK THAT’S ME!”

(ANNIE & KIDS)
READ YOUR WORLD,
READ YOUR WORLD,
READ YOUR WORLD
HASHTAG READ YOUR WORLD

READ YOUR WORLD,
READ YOUR WORLD,
READ YOUR WORLD
HASHTAG READ YOUR WORLD

Multicultural Children’s Book Day is January 25, 2019.

Our mission is to not only raise awareness for the kid’s books that celebrate diversity but to get more of these of books into classrooms and libraries.
