Multicultural Children’s Book Day is excited to partner with Reading Rockets about the upcoming We Are Water Protectors event with our Co-Creator and President, Mia Wenjen, for Multicultural Children’s Book Club. It’s free and virtual!

Reading Rockets is a national public media literacy initiative offering information and resources on how young kids learn to read, why so many struggle, and how caring adults can help.

In celebration of World Nature Conservation Day (July 28) and National Clean Beaches Week (July 1-7), the online Multicultural Children’s Book Club meeting will take place on July 7th at 7:00 pm EST.

A Native American speaker from the Water Protector Legal Collective will be a featured guest in addition to Carole Lindstrom, author of We Are Water Protectors – as they discuss how we can protect our environment, especially our water.
