Multicultural children's book giveaway

It’s time for the 2nd Annual Multicultural Children’s Book Giveaway and KidLit TV is teaming up with Pragmatic Mom, Jump into a Book, Franticmommy, The Educators Spin On It, What We Do All Day, Teach Mama, and Multicultural Children’s Book Day to give parents, teachers, and librarians in need, a chance to win a multicultural book bundle for their school library.

Libraries play an important role in everyone’s life. The library is a place where knowledge and the love of reading shine!  However, budgets for school programs are being cut, and school libraries have been heavily affected. Hours for library time have been shortened in some schools, and even non-existent in others.

Books are one of life’s greatest luxuries.  While some bemoan the reading requirement in school these days, it should be noted that reading was restricted to the very wealthy and privileged until fairly recently.  Since the invention of printing presses, but especially since the Industrial Revolution and mandate of elementary school education, literacy has increased dramatically.

“MCCBD is a wonderful idea whose time has come!

By Lisa Dugan for Child’s Play Books

In the past few years a groundswell of belief has been building that every child should be able to “Read Their World.” Here at Child’s Play, we are committed to publishing books that fully reflect our diverse society in terms of heritage, disability, gender and family. These issues have been at the heart of our mission for over 40 years, driving us to create innovative, award-winning books for children from 0-7 years that promote learning through play.

When a four-year-old boy’s mom was put in prison, he was scared she was in a cage all day and night. Until he got the package with his mommy’s DVD and a Dr. Seuss book she read. Then he saw she was safe and not in a cage, and when he missed her he put the video in and read along—feeling like she was there with him.

If you hop into your favorite bookstore this time of year, you’ll see shelves and displays full of picture books that feature bunnies and baskets and eggs. The books tend to be brightly colored, shiny, and sweet, like the foil-wrapped candies that fill so many Easter baskets. And I find the books, like the candies, insipid and ultimately unsatisfying.

What do I want in an Easter picture book? Start with people. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with books about rabbits and ducks and chicks and lambs. I have more than a few of them in my collection.
