Our world is such an amazing and beautiful place. Yes, there are plenty of dark moments and hypothetical bumps in the road, but we are still blessed to inhabit this place called Earth.
It would be sooooo easy to focus on the bad and negative things. But as MCBD Co-Founder, Valarie Budayr, always says, “When we celebrate the good in life, we will always have more to celebrate.”
With that in mind, here are some excellent books that Make Our World a Better Place!
MCBD always welcomes quality, relevant, and literacy-related contributions from writers, authors, publishers, and organizations. Here is a great list of Books the Celebrate the Uniqueness of our World on the Multicultural Children's Book Day blog.
Princesses have been a part of the storybook world for as long as anyone can remember. But it's only been within the last decade that books, movies, and music have reflected the fact that Princesses come from all ethnicities and backgrounds. This also made us ponder on what other amazing diverse Prince and Princess books were available. So without further ado, here is our roundup of Beautiful Diverse Books from the recent World Princess Week.
It used to be that superheroes were people who donned capes, could fly through the air or had special and amazing powers. After these last 24+ months, we all now know that superheroes wear medical scrubs, a teacher's nametag, a police uniform, or even a childcare worker's smock. Heroes are the everyday people who get up every day knowing they need to move towards uncertainty and fear instead of away. Our history, past and present, is filled with these amazing heroes are we are thrilled that there are books that reflect that.
