How to Participate in Read Your World Day Virtual Party

This year marks our third year hosting Read Your World Day (formerly known as Multicultural Children’s Book Day) on Zoom! During this hour, we come together to celebrate diverse and inclusive children’s books alongside teachers, librarians, parents, families, co-hosts, sponsors, and everyone who shares our mission. It is a moment of joy, camaraderie, and fellowship, especially as diverse and inclusive books face ongoing bans. Join us for an exciting hour packed with special guests, prizes, and more. Don’t just take our word for it—hear from past participants about how amazing this virtual celebration is! Click on the images below to read the testimonials.
