MCBD Book Reviewers: Don’t Forget about Goodreads and Amazon!
Sign up to be a MCBD2022 Book Reviewer is now closed
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.
That being said, the main criteria for being an MCBD reviewer are:
- Have a love for diversity in children’s literature.
- Have a place to share a review of the book you are assigned.
The “sharing” part can take many forms and even though sharing on social media and using our official hashtag of #ReadYourWorld is our favorite, reviewers are also welcome to share their reviews on sites like Goodreads, Amazon, and even in offline settings like classrooms, daycares, community gatherings, and libraries.
Here are ways/places for you to share a book review in honor of MCBD2022:
Blogs
Facebook (Pages only-no Facebook profiles)
Twitter (Private Accounts are not Eligible)
Instagram (Private Accounts are not Eligible)
YouTube
TikTok
Amazon
Goodreads
Classroom or Library Read Alouds
With that, we are proud to introduce our new Book Reviewer Sign-Up program and we also encourage book lovers far-n-wide to sign up for a free diverse book to review for our 1/28/22 event!
P.S. Spread the word!!
