Multicultural Children's Book Day Part 2
This year, I was also gifted The Jake Show by Joshua Levy! The book was published by Katherine Tegen Books, an imprint of Harper Collins Publishing (harpercollins.com). Joshua is Jewish Florida native who has written several middle grade books.
Jake is a TV-loving kid who is being pulled between two different worlds: The devout "yiddishkeit" of living with his mother and the secular, STEM encouraging of living with his father. Shuffled from school to school and between these two worlds, Jake has mastered the art of masking, but with the guidance of some excellent friends (and a few close-calls along the way), learns that he can't be both the person his mom wants him to be and the person his dad wants him to be at the same time (let alone himself).
I really connected with Jake and the need to perform differently for different groups of people. I also remembered the feeling of starting in a new school and feeling like it would only be temporary. While adjusting to the Jewish vocabulary in the beginning was a little difficult for me (Jake did a great job at providing subtitles for things a few chapters in), this book was a great read! Jake's story will resonate with readers trying to parse out who they are/who they want to be. I'm so excited to add this book to the shelves in my library!
Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2024 (1/25/24) is in its 11th year! Valarie Budayr and Mia Wenjen founded this non-profit children’s literacy initiative; they are two diverse book-loving moms who saw a need to shine the spotlight on all of the multicultural diverse books and authors on the market while also working to get those books into the hands of young readers and educators.

Multicultural Children’s Book Day: Treasure Hunt Review #ReadYourWorld
Julie’s Review:
Treasure Hunt is such a cute book. There is so much to enjoy, so let’s get into it.
I loved the siblings working together to have fun. The older brother did an amazing job of creating a fun after-school activity for his younger twin siblings. I loved that – let’s not just play video games or watch TV – there is other fun to be had!
I also loved the creativity of the treasure hunt;…

Because we need more Persian poetry in our lives, we give you this gem by Hafez - ✨ ✨ ✨ I pull a sun from my coin purse each day. And at night I let my pet, the moon, Run freely into the sky meadow. If I whistled, She would turn her head and look at me. If I then waved my arms, She would come back wagging a marvelous tail Of stars. There are always a few men like me In this world Who are house-sitting for God. We share His royal duties: I water each day a favorite potted plant Of His-- This earth. Ask the Friend for love. Ask Him again. For I have learned that every heart will get What it prays for Most. - A Potted Plant by Hafez (Translated by Daniel Ladinsky) Persian lyric poet Hafez (1310-1390 CE) born is one of the most celebrated of the Persian poets, and his influence can be felt to this day. As the author of numerous ghazals expressing love, spirituality, and protest, he and his work continue to be important to Iranians, and many of his poems are used as proverbs or sayings. - Poetry Foundation ✨ ✨ ✨ Art by Patricia Grush, Robin Dewitt and Golsa Yaghoobi from Brave with Beauty: A Story of Afghanistan by Maxine Rose Schur (Yali Books, October 2019) ✨ ✨ ✨ #persianpoetry #poetry #hafez #hafiz #farsi #diversebooks #weneeddiversebooks #historicalfiction #afghanistan #southasianhistory #southasianwomen #shaktis #muslimqueens #muslimwomen #afghanistanhistory #diversepicturebook #historicalpicturebooks #teachingforchange #readyourworld https://www.instagram.com/p/ByK3BBWlNPK/?igshid=mdcl2m2q3rv2

Multicultural Children's Book Day 2024 Part 1
I was gifted Mightier Than the Sword: Rebels, Reformers & Revolutionaries Who Changed the World Through Writing by Rochelle Melander. The books is published by beaming books (beamingbooks.com) and includes illustrations by Melina Ontiveros.
Melander is a public speaker and author working to encourage young people to change their lives and communities through writing.
Her non-fiction book, Mightier Than the Sword does an excellent job at capturing the importance of writing across all different fields. She introduces important figures throughout history from a variety of different backgrounds and demographics with short biographies and how they used writing to improve their lives and/or the lives of those around them. I loved the inclusion of different writing prompts and believe this book will make a fantastic addition to my library shelves.

If you are one of the very wise, intelligent, attractive and savvy people with exquisite taste and great hair who was kind enough to order a copy of my book @APenguinsQuest_Book then I have a little favor to ask. Any chance you could leave a review on Amazon or wherever you may have ordered from? I’m told it really helps with the algorithm search whatnot on the interwebs. It doesn’t have to be a huge write up, just a little something about how the book changed your life and after reading it you achieved a new higher level of consciousness. Or just maybe a few stars? Here is the first ever review from the dashing and highly esteemed ekot as an example. I will be sure to give you a high five when we meet again. Thank you! If you did not enjoy the book, this offer does not apply. #bookstagram #illustration #boardbooks #bookmarketing #childrensbook #earlyreaders #indieauthors #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsbooks #raisingreaders #storytime #mustread #picturebook #readyourworld #penguin #penguins #kingpenguins #notablekidspublishing #birds #skijumping #kidsbooks #lakeplacid #bookworm #readaloud #booksforkids #penguinscanfly #apenguinsquest #read #booklover #bookreviews https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc0wyt0pPLR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
