Today is Multicultural Children's Book Day!

The mission of MCBD is to raise awareness for the kid’s books that celebrate diversity and to get more of these of books into classrooms and libraries.

Children’s reading and play advocates Valarie Budayr from Jump Into a Book and Mia Wenjen from Pragmatic Mom have teamed up to create an ambitious (and much needed) national event. Here's how you can celebrate and make the most of this event:
