We are so excited to present our #ReadYourWorld Book Jam 2019 in conjunction with Children’s Book Council! This year we have 10 amazing authors with unique book lists to share. Each author is also doing a book giveaway!

Please welcome e.E. Charlton-Trujillo with her list of LGBTQIA+ Books Bridging The Gap of “Other” We are giving away 3 galleys of her book, Fat Angie: Rebel Girl Revolution. To enter, please fill out the Rafflecopter at the bottom.

The books on this list celebrate the beautiful and sometimes challenging experience of being LGBTQIA+ while exploring universal themes of adolescence. Diverse books that address the intersectionality of race, orientation, class, gender, ability, neurodiversity, and religion (to name a few) allow readers to continue conversations around how we think about and look at those often perceived as “different.” That is the magic of story. It gives us heart and humor, grief and sadness — it gives us a safe place to realize that within our differences is a shared core of humanity.

Please welcome Mariana Llanos with her list of Eight Essential Children’s Books to Build Empathy About Immigration. We are giving away 10 copies of her book, Luca’s Bridge/El puente de Luca. To enter, please fill out the Rafflecopter at the bottom. 

Why do people emigrate? This is a question that doesn’t get asked and answered quite enough. Nevertheless, in the current climate people are quick to judge those who chose to leave their homes behind. I’m an immigrant, and as such, I am proud to represent all those millions of people who work tirelessly to build a better future for themselves and their families.

I’m thankful for this opportunity to share some of the books I consider essential to fight prejudice and intolerance. I came across most of these titles when I was researching for my new book Luca’s Bridge/El Puente de Luca (Penny Candy Books, 2019). These books are all wonderful in their own right, but together they make a powerful statement of empathy: build bridges of words, tear the walls of ignorance.
