Why It All Began
Despite census data that shows 37% of the US population consists of people of color, only 10% of children’s books published have diverse content. Our mission is to not only raise awareness for children’s books that celebrate diversity and get more of these books into classrooms and libraries.
How We Can Help
Every year Read Your World’s main focus is on multicultural children’s books and what is needed to get these books on shelves and into the hands of deserving families through book donations and fundraising. Using our deep reach and years of expertise, we are providing an “in” with their readership and will be promoting sponsors via name mention, products, or services in a new and fresh way. In a nutshell, this initiative reaches the end-user of diverse children’s and YA books. This event has achieved nationwide attention from many different news venues and even went global in 2019.
