Oh my goodness! The days and weeks are FLYING by and before we know it it will be 1/27/18 and time for the big celebration! If you have not already done so, be sure and visit our Medallion Level Sponsor Page and our Author Sponsor Page. There are a ton of very impressive and talented authors and publishers participating in MCBD2018.

NOW, let’s talk Diverse Kids’ Books.

A few months ago I shared that, because of my role as Project Manager, I get the honor of seeing and reading a TON of amazing multicultural books for kids that are donated to our project. And as a result, 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.

I am so proud of how well this series has taken off and even more pleased at the enthusiastic reactions of the authors and the readers every time I offer up a new “load” of Diverse Picture Books that the Mailman Book Fairy brought me. This week is no different 🙂
