Multicultural Children's Book Day: The Truth Is by NoNieqa Ramos



Review for The Truth Is by debnance

*****************************************************************MultiCulturalChildrensBookDay 2020 poster
Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2020 (1/31/20) is in its 7th year! This non-profit children’s literacy initiative was founded by Valarie Budayr and Mia Wenjen; two diverse book-loving moms who saw a need to shine the spotlight on all of the multicultural books and authors on the market while also working to get those book into the hands of young readers and educators.
Seven years in, MCBD’s mission is to raise awareness of the ongoing need to include kids’ books that celebrate diversity in homes and school bookshelves continues.

MCBD 2020  is honored to have the following Medallion Sponsors on board:

  4. Ok, this one is going on my TBR and I bet I end up reading it before others that have been there a long time. Being jarred is important and necessary. Thank you!

    1. I am so happy to see you are going to read this, Helen. I'd love to hear your thoughts. You are right. It is important and necessary.

  5. Ouch. My adult children raved over The Things They Carried. I have it in my TBR bookcase, but I (lol) haven't gotten to it yet. Sounds like this one was pretty intense. Not a world I'd want to venture into IRL, either.
