Multicultural Children's Bood Day 2025

 

When I was a child,  I always dreamed of traveling around the world , meeting people with different cultures, tasting delicious foods, and learn different languages. 

A perfect dream that I made it possible while reading!

Diversity in children’s literature has been a topic of concern to movements like Multicultural Children’s Book Day (MCBD). Authors, illustrators, educators and bloggers have been an important element to make sure children have access to books that celebrate diversity. Feature characters from diverse cultures, countries and race are an important building block of the learning process in classroom and at home. It is fundamental to teach students from early age that different does not mean to be wrong.

I’m pleased to be part of MCBD since June 2015 not only as an author, but also as a Reviewer to Multicultural Children’s Book Day and Board of Trustees. This event has helped me promote my books, received reviews for my books, increase followers in my social media (Twitter and Instagram), and meet authors from around the world. Excellent resource for NEWTWORKING and internviews:

My Review

Maya's Sunflower Magic

HerBrina Sade' Shepherd

The author HerBrina Sade’s Shepherd gives an invitation to enter into "Maya’s Sunflower Magic" and dedicated this story to All the Beautiful Black Girls and Women.

La historia comienza con coloridas ilustraciones que encarnan el espíritu radiante de un girasol con una imaginación tan ilimitada como el cielo, mientras la bella Maya siembra semillas de esperanza, sueños y aspiraciones en un campo mágico, nutriéndolas con amor y determinación hasta que florecen en impresionantes girasoles.

My favorite line is when Maya’s hear her inner voice telling her. “…Your sunflower bloom with the essence of your uniqueness.”

“Maya's Sunflower Magic” is a celebration of the limitless potential in every black girl, inspiring them to blossom to make the world a magic and better place. However, I would have included a sentence where I included all the girls and women in the world.

Welcome January - Bienvenido Enero

  

Reflections by Maritza Martínez Mejía

January is usually a month to make resolutions. It is gratifying to meet our goals, but do we follow the resolutions throughout the year? Probably not! However, it is important to start the year with a purpose in mind and grateful heart. Let's set up small goals base on the good things and experiences learned from the previous year. Step by step, you can reach far.     
Let's star the New Year with a grateful heart!❤️

Happy and Blessed New Year! 

May the Bethlehem Star guide your path!

Enero es un mes usualmente para hacer resoluciones. Es gratificante cumplir nuestras metas, pero ¿seguimos las resoluciones durante todo el año? ¡Probablemente no! Sin embargo, es importante empezar el año con un propósito en mente y corazón agradecido. Planeemos metas cortas basadas en las cosas positivas y el aprendizaje del año anterior. Paso a paso, se puede llegar lejos. 

¡Empecemos el año nuevo con corazón agradecido!💖
¡Feliz y Bendecido Año Nuevo!
 
¡Que la Estrella de Belém guie tus pasos!
