We Need Diverse Books needs you to give a gift today!

Why? Because you will help WNDB reach its vision:

A world in which all children can see themselves in the pages of a book

Here are some ways that gifts to WNDB have brought us closer to our vision:

  1. Grants to five diverse publishing interns (and one of our awardees was hired at the house where she interned!)
  2. Grants to five aspiring diverse writers/illustrators that will support their pursuit of a career in publishing
  3. Diverse books donated to Title 1 schools, including author visits, as part of WNDB in the Classroom
  4. Mentorships of five aspiring authors/illustrators who are writing diverse books
  5. A partnership with Scholastic for a school book flyer chock full of diverse book selections (Link)
  6. Many panels on diversity presented by our team members, allies, and supporters, including two star-studded BookCon panels

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.

Thank you very much for your gift.

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.

It’s #Giving Tuesday!

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,
  • and planning our 2016 Diversity Festival.
