{Guest post from author Stephen Hodges}

When I embarked on the journey four years ago to create a picture book about a little girl with magic hair who was also her best friend, I never realized where it would take me. I was inspired by playing with a loved one’s big poof of curly hair that sat on top of her head. I loved forming it into shapes and I would even make it talk. After quite a bit of cultural and academic research, “The Magic Poof “was born!

The Magic Poof

Picture Books are great, but I’ve always wanted my characters to come to life in a more animated form. I also wanted to take advantage of the access and interactive nature mobile devices.

Big Multicultural Back to School Book Bundle Giveaway1

Right on time for back to school, KidLit TV is teaming up with Pragmatic Mom, Jump into a Book, Franticmommy and Multicultural Children’s Book Day to give parents, teachers, and librarians a chance to win a multicultural book bundle for their school library.

School libraries play an integral role in the life of students. Many students can cite their school library as a place where a love of reading and learning is fortified. Throughout the country, budgets for school programs are being slashed, school libraries have been heavily hit. Hours for library time are cut in some schools, and non-existent in others. Furthermore, the tight budget impacts a school librarian’s ability to secure funds to purchase new books.

Starting today, September 15th and through September 30th you can enter to win a curated bundle of multicultural books featuring StoryMakers guests and additional kid lit authors.

Last year for the 2014 Multicultural Children’s Book Day, we tracked the social media shares of the hosts and co-hosts over just three days. We did not include the social media shares of the 200 bloggers that joined us with their wonderful book reviews. We did not include social media shares made on other days beyond the day before, the day of, and the day after Multicultural Children’s Book Day.

18.9 Million Social Shares Last Year Over Just 3 Days!

We were astounded to find that there were more than 18.9 million social media shares over the three days alone!

Guest Post from D. G. Driver, Author of Cry of the Sea

I was driving to work, mulling about what to write for this guest blog post when an interview with the writing/illustrating team of the picture book The Last Stop on Market Place came on NPR. The author, Matt de la Peña began speaking about diversity: “This book is about diverse characters, but it isn’t about being diverse.” Then illustrator Christian Robinson added that when books focus explicitly on diversity, “there tends to be an element of heaviness — maybe because the history is heavy and serious.”1
