Multicultural Children's Book Day is celebrated annually on January 25th to raise awareness for children's books that celebrate diversity and anti-bias points of view.
Multicultural Children’s Books Day aims to encourage these anti-bias, diverse books into the hands of students and into classrooms and libraries. This book list highlights children's books that reflect diversity through people and families of color, multi-racial relationships, bilingual books, cultural holidays and celebrations, and introductions to civil movements and other historical events. There are so many wonderful multicultural children’s books out there and this list is a great way to get started.
