For the last four years, I had participated in the Multicultural Children's Book Day as an author, reviewer, supporter and in 2019, as a Board of advisor member.
The purpose of this day is to raise awareness on the ongoing need to include kid’s books that celebrate diversity in home and school bookshelves. The collaborative effort between organizers and authors is part of the event.
This year, Multicultural Children's Day will be on January 25/19.

2019: With great pleasure, I'm a Board of Advisor Member at the Multicultural Children's Book Day. I've been a book reviewer for four years. I reviewed the six bilingual books (above) for #MCBD2019. The BIG day is on January 25th. In addition, I read Vanilla and Chocolate at #ReadYourWorld event at Barnes & Noble, Jensen Beach with other local authors.

2018: The third year as an Author participant, I review three bilingual books in English, French and Spanish. It was an exciting experience to practice skills to review in another language. At the same time, we venture to celebrate the Multicultural Children's Book Day in Orlando, Florida with other authors of the four counties near by.

2016: The first year as an Author participant, I visited a Local School and reviewed, for the first time, four books. I learned how to nail the basic points of a review and how to post it on Amazon and Goodreads. This experience helped me learn how to use a BLOG and the benefits of a cooperative work.
