Multicultural Children’s Book Day (MCBD) is in its 10th year! This non-profit children’s literacy
initiative was founded by Valarie Budayr and Mia Wenjen; two diverse book-loving moms who saw a need to shine the spotlight on all
of the multicultural books and authors on the market while also working to get
those books into the hands of young readers and educators.
Each year authors and publishing companies provide multicultural children's
books for educational bloggers and social media influencers to read and write
about online. In previous years, I've written about Hi, My Name is Jenny, A Unicorn Ate My Homework, Evelyn Del Rey Is Moving Away, and From My Window. This year, I was given a copy of Your Life Matters by Chris Singleton to read. Keep reading to learn more about Your Life Matters and how you can integrate it into your social studies lessons.
