Recently we had an email come through from a NYC school teacher who was on the hunt for new diverse book titles for her home and classroom bookshelf. Her question to us was; did we have access to any new lists or multicultural book recommends?

We LOVE questions like that!

Truth-be-told, there are tons of booklists and resources on the Multicultural Children’s Book Day site and we are adding new ones all the time.

From blog posts, author visits, directories of book and even an e-book, MCBD has a ton of Diverse Booklists and Book Recommends for Teachers and Librarians. Here are a few resources that everyone might find helpful:

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:
