We encourage everyone to join in:

Teachers: Let us know what books you need and we will steer you towards resources and/or make the book lists you need.

Everyone can win! We are giving away 13 book bundles — over 100 books in total — every six minutes. Each book bundle is tied to a specific question. Help us celebrate diversity in children’s books!

My books:

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.

What a great interview! I loved learning more about you and MCBD! This is my first year as an author, my first year participating in MCBD and the first year my son’s class is celebrating MCBD! We are both looking forward to the MCBD party in his class today! Thanks so much for creating such a worthy, and much needed event!
