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 🙂

Social Justice with  Dear Martin by Nic Stone

Dear Martin

Everyone likes Justyce McAllister. He’s a straight A student headed to Harvard, has great friends, is always willing to help someone out who’s in need, but sometimes doing the right thing doesn’t always turn out the way we expect. After a helping his ex-girlfriend, who looks like she is white, when she’s in trouble, a police officer handcuffs him for attempted assault and keeps him on the ground until his parents and his friend’s father show up and convince the officer to let him go. This traumatic event causes Justyce to reevaluate everything he’s known, the way his friends speak, everything that’s wrong with the world.

Guest post from author, Dani Dixon

Intro from Becky

I love, love, LOVE adult coloring books. And I can tell you from personal experience that coloring books are indeed like potato chips-you can’t have just one. But I did noticed a lack of diverse topics when it came to adding a new book to my collection so imagine my excitement when I found Dani Dixon’s Five Nations Coloring Book announcement. Dani’s portfolio of work that includes diversity is impressive as well and I was thrilled when she said “yes” to my invitation to guest post here on MCBD. Enjoy!

On My Desk | New Diverse Kids’ Books to Consider

On My Desk Diverse Kids’ Books to Consider

Friday the 13th my butt! There’s nothing bad about a Friday, especially one filled with BOOKS.

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:
