There’s nothing wrong with getting new books at your local bookstore but if you’re an avid bookworm, then your budget probably can’t handle it if you get all your books there.
Luckily there are plenty of legal ways to get books for free or cheaply and here are some of the best ways to do that.
This is for those who love kids books (from board books to YA books) and love to see characters from all over as well as places that are diverse as well. The co-founders, Mia Wenjen and Valarie Budayr, are looking for reviewers. And they would love the reviewers list to be worldwide if possible. Link is below along with link to cohosts for this year's book day on 25 January 2019.
Both Mia and Valarie have been promoting Multicultural Children's Book Day
1. to raise awareness of those books that already celebrate diversity in children's literature
2. to promote getting more diversity (characters from minority groups, special needs, far away places) in books to get more kids reading earlier and longer, and
3. to promote getting these books into the hands of Teachers and Librarians to share with their kids,
4. to promote resources for classrooms and libraries to help with lesson plans around diversity.
