Our theme for this month's Diverse Children's Books linkups is Favorite Diverse Author or Illustrator. Who are your must-read authors or must-see illustrators? (The theme is only a suggestion. Diverse posts on alternate topics are always welcome.)
Diverse Children's Books is a 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, November 5th and on the first and third Saturdays of every month.
Our theme for the current linkup is Favorite Diverse Author or Illustrator. Themes are a suggestion only; all diverse book posts are welcome. If you're interested, you can start planning now for our upcoming themes ...
Our most-clicked post from the previous #diversekidlit linkup features super-talented author-illustrated Kadir Nelson. Miss T's Book Room shares a brief biography of Nelson and his long-list of awards and amazing picture books.
I had the honor of hearing Kadir Nelson speak during a breakfast at last year's NCTE conference. He is an incredibly-talented artist, as well as a thoughtful and caring man. If you are not yet familiar with his work, you are in for a treat!
Mark your calendars for Multicultural Children's Book Day, Jan. 27, 2017! Multicultural Children's Book Day is an all-day (really, more like all-month) celebration of diverse books. Opportunities are currently available for teachers and bloggers to receive a free diverse book to review as part of the event. Interested parents can also win books through various giveaways. This will be my third year participating in #MCCBD and my first year as a co-host. This is another great way to bring attention to diverse books, and I hope you'll consider joining in!
Interested in joining as a host or an occasional co-host? Contact katie at thelogonauts.com.
