Join our Reading Blackout: February #diversekidlit

Welcome to February #DiverseKidLit ! Please join us in sharing your diverse children’s book links and resources, as well as visiting other links to find great suggestions and recommendations.

Did you miss celebrating Multicultural Children’s Book Day on January 27th? Never fear! You can
check out all the highlights of the Twitter party and conversation. There are hundreds of diverse book recommendations and book lists.

What Is #DiverseKidLit?

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 serves as a resource for parents, teachers, librarians, publishers, and
authors! Our next linkup will be Saturday, March 3rd and the first Saturday of
each month.

Most Clicked Post from Last Time

The most-clicked post from the previous #diversekidlit was Myra’s version of the linkup including her review of the absolutely charming Worm Loves Worm!

I waited in line at NCTE a few years back to get an advanced copy of this picture book – such a great way to share with kids about how love is love is love. Thanks, Myra!
