Special Moments we LOVED from Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2017

The 4th Multicultural Children’s Book Day has come and gone and as expected, it was a HUGE success. We couldn’t be more proud of our team, our sponsors, our reviewers,  the young readers, moms, educators, librarians, authors, illustrators, publishers and organizations that help us continue to do what we do 🙂

As you can imagine, there were MANY sweet and touching moments throughout this special day (and the weeks leading up to it) here are a some of our favorites:

Great Write-ups

The Creativity and Thoughtfulness of our reviewers was Mind-Blowing

Amazing #readyourworld gatherings

The Lareda Ranch Social Justice Committee (LRSJC) teamed up with the local public library and held an event titled Kids Around the World.  We highlighted various cultures represented on each of the 7 continents and we celebrated Multicultural Children’s Book Day by featuring the amazing books you sent us.  We were also pleased to pass out the wonderful bookmarks you provided and used the great posters you sent me. We all enjoyed this so much and want to thank you for helping us to put on a wonderful community You truly helped to make it a success.  Thanks so much!- Shereen

P.S.  We also had all the kids make these cute diversity/love bracelets.  I just love these and thought I would send a pic of that as well.

Instagram was all a-buzz!
