Welcome to #DiverseKidLit!
Please join us in sharing your diverse children’s book links and resources, as well as visiting other links to find great suggestions and recommendations.
What Is #DiverseKidLit?
Diverse Children’s Books is a book-sharing meme designed to promote the reading and writing of children’s books that feature diverse characters. This community embraces all kinds of diversity including (and certainly not limited to) diverse, inclusive, multicultural, and global books for children of all backgrounds.
We encourage everyone who shares to support this blogging community by visiting and leaving comments for at least three others. Please also consider following the hosts on at least one of their social media outlets. Spread the word using #diversekidlit and/or adding our button to your site and your diverse posts.
We hope this community serves as a resource for parents, teachers, librarians, publishers, and authors! Our next linkup will be Saturday, August 4th and the first Saturday of each month.
Join Us in Welcoming Svenja as a New Host!
Svenja is an adoptive mom of two little Black girls and a social worker, originally from Germany, living in South Africa. She searches the internet up and down for multicultural children’s books that have a positive message and that do not support stereotypes. Passionate about promoting diversity, Svenja shares her findings of multicultural children’s books, toys and other resources on her website, Colours of Us. Because representation matters!
