Multicultural Children’s Book Day (MCBD) is a non-profit, global diverse children’s literacy initiative that was co-created by Valarie Budayr and Mia Wenjen.
Fueled by a passion for reading, education, community, and multiculturalism, Valarie and Mia created MCBD to raise awareness on the benefits of kids being able to “see themselves” in the pages of the books they read.
The MCBD Team also works tirelessly to get free diverse books into the hands of readers, parents, caregivers, teachers, and librarians. To achieve this, the MCBD Team uses its robust social media presence and a network of authors, publishers, educators, and bloggers to spread the word about diverse books and authors.

One of our Multicultural Children’s Book Day team members will create a custom blog post of 400-500 words. This will be published on the Multicultural Children’s Book Day blog. The post will include photos as well as a nofollow link (per Google’s rules) to the author, brand or publisher.
After publishing, the post will be shared and promoted one time across Multicultural Children’s Book Day’s social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. Additional social media sharing by Jump Into a Book and PragmaticMom’s social media channels means that this post will reach more than *260,000 followers!* One of the FB or IG posts will also be boosted one time for $25, which is included in the fee. Book reviews require a sample of the product to be provided to our team prior to writing an honest review.
***Our Sponsored Post options are only available from February to September of any given year***
Once created, your Sponsored Post will be shared and promoted 2X to MCBD’s social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest) and including 4 tweets on Twitter (an increase from last year).
MCBD will also use its Tailwind Program to post your Pinnable image to at least three pinning groups (including the HUGE Multicultural Books for Kids Board with over 16,000 followers). For even more sharing juice, we will include it in SmartLoop (an option on Tailwind that automatically schedules certain Pins in a continuous loop into the future).
**Payment must be made in full via PayPal before Campaign can begin.
****The Multicultural Children’s Book Day Sponsored Post Package does not promise or guarantee book sales.
