Hi! How does multicultural children’s book day work? Do you want us to send a book? Please tell me more:)
This was a question that popped into my email last week and my first thought was, “what a great question!”
For those who are unfamiliar with the diversity in children’s literacy initiative known as Multicultural Children’s Book Day, the MCBD website has a plethora of who’s, where’s, and whys.
As our 9th annual event inches closer and October comes to a close, the MCBD Team has been busy preparing and up-leveling this epic online (and offline!) celebration.
Lately, we’ve had many inquiries about “what it takes” to be a book reviewer for Multicultural Children’s Book Day. The main focus behind reviewing a kids’ or YA book in honor of our celebration is to share all of the amazing diverse books, authors, and publishers available with the world.
One of the many missions of MCBD is to always be shining the spotlight on authors of diverse kidlit. Thanks to the talents of MCBD Team Member and long-time CoHost, Leanna Guillen-Mora, we are excited to announce the addition of a reoccurring Instagram Live feature! Every Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. ET., followers can tune in and learn more about these amazing authors and their books.
Here’s a look at who Leanna interviewed this week!
