There are so many amazing things happening at MCBD Headquarters, we don’t know where to begin!

Here are some highlights, new offerings, and exciting victories that we want you to know about

#GivingTuesday is an opportunity for people worldwide to stand together in unity while also supporting causes that touch their hearts.

This #GivingTuesday, MCBD wants to rally our supporters, reviewers, authors, and sponsors to help us help teachers by sending a free book of their classroom bookshelf via our FREE Diverse Books for Classrooms. We have hundreds of schools waiting patiently for a multicultural YA, chapter, or picture book for their students.

How can you help? Go to our #GivingTuesday Page on the MCBD website and choose your level of giving. 

Did you know that a $30 donation will help us get FIVE brand new diverse books into FIVE classrooms? Imagine the smiles. The joy. The gratitude. Imagine the awe and wonder when a young reader can “see themselves” in the pages of the book they are reading! 

Join us on #GivingTuesday, and let’s rally to keep kids reading while lending a helping hand to one of our many unsung heroes: TEACHERS.

Go here to help us, help teachers! 

Why “Meaningful Groups?”

A Meaningful Group is an engaged community that comes together for a common purpose, passion, or reason. Also, a community committed to supporting each other. Sounds like the MCBD Facebook Group, yes? Our goal with this reoccurring Facebook Live every Friday nite at 7:00 p.m. Central is to share what’s new and upcoming for Multicultural Children’s Book Day

Then our Hostess with the Mostess, Project Manager Becky Flansburg, will switch to a topic that would appeal to the wide range of group members that we have. Weekly could include topics like blogging, social media, publishing, promotion, and marketing, or even topics from a parent’s perspective work/life balance, time management, anxious kids, etc.

We have an amazing pool of Smart People in this group, and on the MCBD Team, so we want to use our knowledge bank to make our private Facebook Group a Meaningful one.

P.S. These Lives will be archived so they can be watched at a later date too 🙂
