Diverse Book Review, On My Desk
November 28, 2017

A few weeks ago I shared that, because of my role as Project Manager, I get to enjoy the motherlode 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 🙂

Multicultural Children’s Book Day (MCBD) is a non-profit co-founded by fellow moms Valarie Budayr and Mia Wenjen who has a vision of helping kids “see themselves” on the pages of the books they read. This event has evolved into something so incredibly wonderful and positive: far more than all of us could have ever imagined.

As we approach our fifth MCBD, I am excited to report that we have so many amazing things planned for our 2018 online event (1/27/18). , This holiday is usually just a one day event, but because since the day of this children’s book-related holiday lands on a Saturday, we decided to get creative on how we can make this one-day event a week-long party!

A huge part of what we do is work with authors and publishers to not only review and give publicity to their multicultural books, but to also spend hundreds of “women-hours” and thousands of dollars to get those books into the hands of young readers. Typically, the majority of our celebration exists online, but after seeing all of the amazing offline festivities that MCBD2017 inspired, we knew we wanted to do something extra special for our next event on 1/27/18.

When I was growing up it was either black or white. I’m not sure if there was even authentic Mexican tacos. As far as I was concerned Chinese people only resided in Chinese restaurants or China. Which brings me to my first point, I vividly remember my first crush was a Chinese boy at a restaurant when I was 14 years old. He was the first Asian guy I’d ever seen.

Although I’m from a small town in Ohio, I was lucky because I lived in the city where whites and blacks were pretty integrated. But I didn’t care about that…I was fascinated by anyone that was different. Different defined as neither black nor white. As soon as the new girl moved into town from India I was in her face. I thought she was so pretty. Interestingly enough, her name was Preeti.

A few weeks ago I shared that, because of my role as Project Manager, I get to enjoy the motherlode 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 shared another batch of dandy diverse books for kids last week as well including a new graphic novel with a science theme that made my reluctant reader daughter positively GIDDY.

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:
