Multicultural Children’s Book Day is celebrated on January 28th and aims to promote diversity in children's literature. Founded by Mia Wenjen and Valarie Budayr, the day encourages children to read stories that reflect various cultures, families, and traditions. Typical customs include hosting read-aloud events, creating book displays that celebrate diverse storytelling, and crafting culture-inspired projects. Participants are also encouraged to donate diverse books to local shelters and schools, ensuring that inclusive stories reach children who need them. The event fosters discussions about the characters and their experiences, helping children appreciate differences and feel included in the narratives they encounter. Overall, it seeks to create a world where every child sees their story represented in literature.
