Multicultural Children’s Book Day was created to spread the word and raise awareness about the importance of diversity in children’s literature. Our young readers need to see themselves within the pages of a book and experience other cultures, languages, traditions and religions within the pages of a book.

Every January 27th we celebrate Multicultural Children’s Book Day.We encourage readers, parents, teachers, caregivers and librarians to follow along with fun book reviews, author visits, event details, multicultural children’s book linky and via our hashtag (#ReadYourWorld) on Twitter and other social media. To find out more about our resources, twitter party, book reviews, and classroom book giveaways go to www.multiculturalchildresnbookday.com
