Where are the models of relatable kids from diverse cultural backgrounds?

By Jeni Lee Chapman, Co-author of Gokul Village and the Magic Fountain and Co-Founder of Gokul Workshops LLC

The power of coming together with a shared mission produces truly amazing and impactful results. My co-founder, Bal Das and I planted this seed a little over a year ago and started this journey together. In September we published our first book and announced the launch of a new concept for children’s media called Big Bold Beautiful World Media. Our mission is to use creativity and innovation to build stories, products, and experiences that empower the social-emotional learning of global generations. As Maya Angelou beautifully wrote, “we are more alike my friends than we are unalike.”

Hard to believe it’s only a week until MCBD2018! I’ve been eyeball-deep in multicultural books for kids and I.Love.IT.

This series got started because, with my role as Project Manager, I get to enjoy the avalanche of amazing multicultural books for kids that are donated to our project.  My office currently looks like a small bookstore and I love every second of it.

Being appreciative over every book that crosses my desk, I wanted to find a fun way to share those books with the loyal folks who show up here to read every week and support this non-profit. In that moment, On My Desk | New Diverse Kids’ Books to Consider was born! It’s my way of sharing some amazing titles that don’t always get the attention they deserve.

When Author Andrea Scott’s Sponsor Intake Form crossed my desk, it contained a story that I knew needed to be told.

Author Andrea Scott

Her company, Smile Big Dream Bigger, started off as a bilingual book to encourage people to smile big with their hearts and to dream big. It has formed in to a tutoring service for all age groups that helps people to learn different languages and excel in school, and it encourages them to make their dreams a reality.

So many amazing parents, teachers, and librarians have been sharing their plans for MCBD, we just had to pass on this magic to our supporters.

This email from Tam Hixson truly made our eyes leak!

“Just a quick update to let you know what MCBD has inspired in Lake Oswego, Oregon….

Last month we had a Kids Bake Sale with a goal to raise $1000. With the support of several individuals, groups, businesses, and local newspaper, we exceeded our goal and raised $1200. We’ve partnered with the school district librarian and 100% of the proceeds purchased a dozen multicultural books for all of the elementary schools in our district.
