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.

Book Festival Season

Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned book festival? You walk in and hear the buzz of people who love to read books, write books, or write about good books. You are able to wander in and out of discussions, inspirational book displays, all the while sipping on a glass of wine. It is a literary dream kind of day. Today is all about insider tips for how to make the most out of your local book festival!

My local book festival  is the National Book Festival in Washington D.C.. It feels a lot like Christmas morning to be handed a custom bag to fill with as many free books as you can carry. There was no eggnog or mistletoe, but authors like Stephen King, Marilynne Robinson, Angela J. Davis, and Katherine Patterson were all ready to share a little piece of their writing souls and how their passion drives their lives and changes history.

I have attended many book festivals, and even in the best cities or events, the experience can be confusing and the best events are easy to miss.  Here are six foolproof tips to enjoy a fabulous experience at your own local book festival.

It's #bookfestival season! Get these 6 amazing insider tips for making the most of your trip! #edchat #amreading Share on X
