Diverse Children’s Books is a new book-sharing meme designed to promote the reading and writing of children’s books that feature diverse characters. This community embraces all kinds of diversity including (and certainly not limited to) diverse, inclusive, multicultural, and global books for children of all backgrounds.
We encourage everyone who shares to support this blogging community by visiting and leaving comments for at least three others. Please also consider following the hosts on at least one of their social media outlets. Spread the word using #diversekidlit and/or adding our button to your site and your diverse posts.
We hope this community will grow into a great resource for parents, teachers, librarians, publishers, and authors! Our next linkup will be Saturday, July 2nd and on the first and third Saturdays of each month.

BEST #OWNVOICES CHILDREN’S BOOKS: My Favorite Diversity Books for Kids Ages 1-12 is a book that I created to highlight books written by authors who share the same marginalized identity as the characters in their books.
This is awesome! It’s really important to teach children about the value of diversity early on, and books are an excellent medium for that! Nice work! Thanks for sharing this!
I’m so glad that you like our new linky Morgan! That’s so heartening!!! We just had an email chain trying to figure out ways to get more participation.
The Diverse Children’s Books sharing meme sounds very forward thinking. Your strategy of paying the views and comments forward on to other blogs is along the same vein.
Thanks so much Christina! I’m so glad to be part of this diverse children’s book community!
