Multicultural Children's Book Day 2020

 

Multicultural Children’s Book Day is in its 7th year!

 

Celebrate by joining our twitter party and checking out our linky party & free resources (details below)!

 

MCBD is a non-profit children’s literacy initiative founded by Valarie Budayr and Mia Wenjen; two diverse book-loving moms who saw a need to shine the spotlight on all of the multicultural books and authors on the market while also working to get those book into the hands of young readers and educators.

Seven years in, MCBD’s mission is to raise awareness of the ongoing need to include kids’ books that celebrate diversity in homes and school bookshelves continues.
