Celebrate Multicultural Children’s Book Day

Each year authors, publishers, parents, teachers, bloggers, and librarians join forces to present an online event highlighting diversity in children’s literature: Multicultural Children’s Book Day.

The event’s mission is to raise awareness of diverse books and get more of them into classrooms and libraries.

Valarie Budayr from Jump Into a Book and Mia Wenjen from PragmaticMom created this much-needed literary-based initiative in 2012.

Multicultural Children’s Book Day features a giant linky with hundreds of diverse book reviews and activities. It’s an excellent resource for the year! Check out the most recent Big Giant Linky.
