Review by MCCBD Project Manager, Becky Flansburg
That truly was my first thought when I finished the final page of Whisper of the Woods and sat for a moment with my thoughts whirling. I connected with D.G. several years ago during the very first Multicultural Children’s Book Day. From the start, Cry of the Sea intrigued me and once I settled in to read it, it hook from from beginning to end.
It’s time for the 2nd Annual Multicultural Children’s Book Giveaway and KidLit TV is teaming up with Pragmatic Mom, Jump into a Book, Franticmommy, The Educators Spin On It, What We Do All Day, Teach Mama, and Multicultural Children’s Book Day to give parents, teachers, and librarians in need, a chance to win a multicultural book bundle for their school library.
Libraries play an important role in everyone’s life. The library is a place where knowledge and the love of reading shine! However, budgets for school programs are being cut, and school libraries have been heavily affected. Hours for library time have been shortened in some schools, and even non-existent in others.

One of the MANY things I love about being the Project Manager for Multicultural Children’s Book Day (coming 1/27/16) is getting a landslide of simply amazing books to read, review and aprove during the three months leading up to the event.
It’s like Christmas every day when I go to my PO Box. 🙂
This uptick in books is made even sweeter when I come across books/authors from my home state of Minnesota and Lehman Riley from Papa Lemon Books is one such example.
Goosebottom Books is a small press founded by Shirin Yim Bridges, award-winning author of Ruby’s Wish and The Umbrella Queen. Dedicated to fun non-fiction and the concept of “stealth education,” Goosebottom Books launched its first series, The Thinking Girl’s Treasury of Real Princesses, in 2010. Since then, the press has won national and international awards and accolades for each subsequent series. The Thinking Girl’s Treasury of Dastardly Dames was named a Top 10 Nonfiction Series of 2012 by the ALA’s Booklist Magazine, and Call Me Ixchel, Mayan Goddess of the Moon, one of A Treasury of Glorious Goddesses, was named one of Foreword Reviews’ Top 10 Middle Grade Novels of 2013.
