Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2023

We are proud to be a co-host again for Multicultural Children’s Book Day. This non-profit is dedicated to promoting diverse children’s books and getting them the children that need them. We support their mission, since diverse children’s books are so vitally important. Discover five ways you can celebrate, plus read on for more incredible resources!

Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2023 (1/26/23) 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.

Ten years in, MCBD’s mission is to raise awareness of the ongoing need to include kids’ books that celebrate diversity in homes and school bookshelves continues. Read about our Mission & History HERE.
