Please join us for the Read Your World Virtual Party on Thursday, January 30, 2025, from 9 pm to 10 pm EST.
Register here!
We will be giving away book bundles of 10 books each every 10 minutes as we discuss the state of children’s book publishing. Sign up for the virtual party and get ready to join the fun by answering the questions below:
- What are the implications of banning inclusive and diverse books in schools and libraries for the development of critical thinking and empathy in students?
- What are some strategies for introducing inclusive and diverse books to students, especially in classrooms where book bans may arise?
- How do inclusive and diverse books help students see themselves reflected and see others that are not like them?
- How can teachers create an inclusive classroom environment using inclusive and diverse books as tools for dialogue and learning? How can parents, guardians and/or caregivers do this as well?
- What are your top inclusive and diverse book recommendations for fostering inclusion, empathy, and understanding in classrooms?
- How can educators and parents work together to challenge book bans and promote access to diverse and inclusive KidLit?
Celebrate Read Your World Day (formerly known as Multicultural Children’s Book Day).
