This blog celebrates cultural diversity in the arts, and in children’s books in particular, as well as the people who make it happen! I find heritage months wonderful, however I also believe that one needs not to wait for a particular season to celebrate the cultural richness of our world. Like any other mainstream successes, multicultural books, and multicultural media in general, are a wonderful source of information. They provide a great escapism and, dare I say, promote world peace. What is there not to like? *smile*
With that in mind, be ready to read about Native American, Asian, Latinx, African-American literature and more, anytime of the month.
Congrats to Rosi and her school of choice.
Hi! You might be interested in a blogger Con coming to Sacramento, October 2014.
It’s the 8th Annual Kidlitosphere Con, and the title, “Blogging Diversity in Young Adult and Children’s Lit: What’s Next” sounds like it might, for you, have particular appeal. Please check out the call for session panels – and the registration information – and spread the word. Thanks, and hope to see you there.
