As Project Manager for Multicultural Children’s Book Day (MCBD), I get the honor of viewing hundreds of multicultural Children’s Books that are donated or submitted for review approval every year. Basically, from September to January it’s like Christmas time for me and my office turns into a colorful and vibrant warehouse for diverse kids books. #luckyducky

As the prep for MCBD2018 gets into full swing, I’d like to do something fun and different simply because so many of these books deserve as much visibility as we can offer. With that in mind, I’d like to start something new called On My Desk as a way to share some of the notable multicultural books for kids that cross my desk every week.  Here’s what the Mailman Book Fairy brought me this week in the way of New Diverse Kids’ Books to Consider:

Carolyn from the Wise Owl Factory has not only been a strong supporter of MCBD since Day One,  we think she gets extra “cool points” for being a Minnesotan  like our Project Manager, Becky!

She is also a CoHost for MCBD2018!

Carolyn is also a source for amazing, fun and relatable printables that inspire young minds and support teachers in the classroom. Her site is also a treasure trove of useful and exciting Multicultural Printables that help to bring diverse kidlit books to life.

Winning Book Awards: The Question that Prompted a Discussion

It all started with an excellent question on Facebook.

how to win book awards

In my eight years with SBPRA, my nine rhyming picture books My Little Angel, The Golden Rule, Mice & Spiders & Webs…Oh My!, My Fingerpaint Masterpiece, Manner-Man, Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa’s Birthday Gift have received forty-eight 2011-17 International and National awards.   Am I special? I don’t know… As background, I am a former teacher, mother of four and a grandmother of ten, which is one of my proudest achievements!

All of my books are also part of a fund-raising effort: http://sbpra.com/curejm/ for the CureJM Foundation, to help find a cure for Juvenile Myositis, an incurable children’s disease. 50% of the cost of the books is donated to the fundraising cause.  There is also another fundraiser for the I’m Bully Free organization, found at http://sbpra.com/imbullyfree to help kids cope with bullying!  Manner-Man just loves this site!!!
