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.

During last year’s Twitter party a topic that came up often was children’s mental health as a result (or as a side effect) of the pandemic.  This includes but is not limited to anxiety, depression, social isolation, sadness, pandemic fatigue, and mindfulness techniques: in other words, “surviving Covid-19.” We read your Twitter posts and your requests for mental health resources for kids.

In this classroom kit, you’ll find resources on

Our story 

About two years ago, my child informed us that they are nonbinary. That they don’t identify as either boy or girl and that their pronouns are now they/them.  Of course, this was fine with me. But, it did take a lot of work to stop using she/her in reference to my child. I’d been doing that for so many years, I was on autopilot. I tried and made a lot of mistakes in the beginning. Then I saw my child’s face when someone called them she. My child cringed and felt so uncomfortable.
