As our 9th annual event inches closer and October comes to a close, the MCBD Team has been busy preparing and up-leveling this epic online (and offline!) celebration.

A big part of this “upleveling” includes piloting a brand-new, custom-made book matching program that will make matching diverse children's and YA books to reviewers sooooo much easier. We take great care in trying to find the best fit for our reviewers and sponsors while also honoring special requests. We are very excited that this new program will do all of that while also saving time and stress for our loyal team.

With that, we are proud to introduce our new Book Reviewer Sign-Up program and we also encourage book lovers far-n-wide to sign up for a free diverse book to review for our 1/28/22 event!

Multicultural Children's Book Day (MCBD) is an online and offline celebration that attracts thousands of supporters, educators, parents, caregivers, book reviewers, and quality authors and publishers who join forces to shine the spotlight on diversity in children and YA literature. Celebrated annually on the last Friday in January, this global non-profit offers a plethora of free resources, teaching tools, booklists, downloads, and a year-round initiative to get multicultural and diverse books into the hands of young readers. To date, they have donated over 10,000 books to underserved kids, classrooms, and organizations, and that number continues to climb. To learn more about MCBD, visit them on the web and be follow their official hashtag #ReadYourWorld on social media.

SO…if you love diverse books for kids and have a social media platform to share a review on, we want to give you a FREE diverse kidlit or YA book to review!
