On My Desk | New Diverse Kids’ Books to Consider

On My Desk | New Diverse Kids’ Books to Consider

This is shaping up to be one of my favorite blog posts to write for our MCBD blog!

Last week 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. You all are amaze-balls 🙂

Carolyn from the Wise Owl Factory has not only been a strong supporter of MCBD since Day One,  we think she gets extra “cool points” for being a Minnesotan  like our Project Manager, Becky!

She is also a CoHost for MCBD2018!

Carolyn is also a source for amazing, fun and relatable printables that inspire young minds and support teachers in the classroom. Her site is also a treasure trove of useful and exciting Multicultural Printables that help to bring diverse kidlit books to life.

Read Your World: A Guide to Multicultural Children’s Books for Parents and Educators // Our Fundraising Book

By now kids are back to school and teachers and librarians are beginning another year of sometimes one of the hardest jobs on earth.

Read Your World has always worked very hard to support teachers with free resources, free classroom kits, and free diverse books, but now we want to give YOU a way to help them as well! In 2017, we published its first-ever ebook filled with multicultural book resources and recommendations.
