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.
I am so glad night time ninja won. It’s my son’s favorite book to read.
Hi Tanya,
We love it too! Thanks for entering!
Love Night Time Nija too! Looking forward to introducing Bad Kitty for President to my son. I think he would love that one too! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Jennifer,
I need to track down Bad Kitty for President for my son too! Thanks for stopping by!
My son is currently reading Night Time Ninja and he is loving it.
Hi Viren,
We love Night Time Ninja too! I think the illustrations are wonderful and pair so well with the words. I thought it would win a Caldecott so I’m glad it won a Children’s Choice Award. The picture book category is always such a competitive one!
We haven’t read ANY of these! Time to put in some library requests!
Hi MaryAnne,
I’m going to try to get the Bad Kitty chapter book too! Race you! (Just kidding. We are at different libraries, I know!).
Yes, Ed Young ‘s illustrations are so good! Thanks of sharing this this!
The Fault in Our Stars sounds so sad.
Hi Ann,
I just won a copy of The Fault in Our Stars so I’ll keep you posted though I don’t like to read sad books either. Maybe I’ll skim it or get one of my kids to read it. It IS supposed to be a great book!
I have some new adds for my library list – plus I will be sharing this post as part of my Weekly Kids Co-Op post this week.
Thank you so much Jennifer! I really appreciate the promotion! It’s fun to see what kids vote for when it comes to their favorite books!
