Today is the day! It’s Multicultural Children’s Book Day!

Today we are Celebrating:

A giant blog tour and Link-up —
Our Big MCCBD Linky is LIVE today so that bloggers can link up their multicultural children’s book reviews so that readers, parents, teachers, librarians, and caregivers can explore lots of books with diversity content via book reviews, book lists, and links.

A giant networking event —
Our goal is to also connect organizers, sponsors, co-hosts, bloggers, and others interested in expanding awareness of, and promotion of multicultural children’s books.

A virtual book drive —
We have partnered with First Book for a Virtual Book Drive to help in our efforts to place multicultural books in locations where they are needed.

ALSO-We’re hosting a Twitter party tonight at 9pm to 10pm EST using hashtag #ReadYourWorld. We will be talking about diversity in children’s books and  giving away 10 packages of wonderful diversity and inclusive books for kids!!! Please join us!

    AHH. I wish I’d have known about the book drive! I’d have totally pitched in a couple of mine.

    So exciting to see so many people coming together for this great cause. Serious movement going on. Keep it up!

    A pleasant good day to you, and thanks for creating this valuable space for sharing information on multi cultural books for children. I am looking forward to seeing the posts about books and indeed sharing books from Jamaica that are great for children and young people. Our culture is vibrantly diverse and our writers naturally reflect that in their creativity. I look forward to sharing books with topics that include relationships in the family and the school, adventures that involve the natural and the built environment, fantasy fiction, sports, migration and much more….as I said, it is how we live. One Love from Jamaica!!!

    Congratulations on highlighting multicultural books for children. We in Jamaica and the wider Caribbean region live multiculturalism and it is an inherent part of the stories we tell….so it is a special joy to link with your effort and to wish you well.

    What a wonderful idea this is! Hello from Jamaica. Multicultural Children’s Book Day is a great way of celebrating diversity and the fact that however different we may appear to be, we all want and value the same things, acceptance, love and security, recognition and respect, and the ability to achieve at something, be it at school or in our families and communities. Please have a look at my blog, Caribbean Children’s Literature to see examples of delightful children’s books from Jamaica and the wider Caribbean.

      Thanks so much for the heads up on your great blog! We are thrilled to learn more about Jamaican authors!
