A non-profit and a
grassroots organization of children’s book lovers that advocates
essential changes in the publishing industry to produce and promote
literature that reflects and honors the lives of all young people.
It’s #GivingTuesday, and We Need Diverse Books needs your support to help us reach our $10,000 fundraising goal! Any amount helps make a difference. facebook.com/diversebooks/
To sustain that forward motion, and get diverse books into the hands of all children, we continue to rely on your support. Please donate by December 31st.
It’s #GivingTuesday (as we may have already mentioned). And we wanted to share our new author video complete with….adorable baby photos! Can you guess who’s who in each image? Check out the new #SupportWNDB author video on our Indiegogo page to find out.
Tim Federle: I’m trying to think when I was a kid what the most diverse book was that I read and I’m having a hard time thinking of it, which is, I think, in a way what underscores the entire campaign.
On #GivingTuesdday consider the gift of how much seeing yourself represented in the literature you read (whether assigned in class or freely found on shelves) could make such a difference in terms of one’s attachment to reading and advocacy of books in general.
If you #SupportWNDB visit our Indiegogo campaign page to see our initiatives for educational kits to give school teachers and librarians on what books are out there and how to share them with young readers.
Today is #GivingTuesday! After days of thanks and days of holiday purchases the aim is for there to be a day of giving back!
Our #SupportWNDB campaign is going for another 8 days and we’ve been astounded by the amount of support we have received. We have many perks still available and you can see our initiatives on our Indiegogo page for:
supporting diverse authors,
promoting diverse books & programming,
diversifying classrooms,
developing educational kids for libraries and schools to have more access to diverse titles,
