Read Your World is celebrating our 11th Multicultural Children's Book Day on January 25, 2024.
We want to help teachers celebrate our holiday by giving them a Read Your World Teacher Celebration Kit consisting of 3 diverse children's books, book swag for their students, and a teacher's guide for one of the books so that they can celebrate in their classrooms.
Read Your World Teacher Celebration Kit donated to a preschool teacher!
For each $100 we receive, we are able to send out 1 Read Your World Teacher Celebration Kit to a teacher who can celebrate with us in January. This is a gift that keeps giving as teachers can use this kit over and over again each year.
Cost:
- 3 Diverse Children's Books + Book Swag = $60
- Shipping, Packaging Materials, and Handling = $25
- Administrative Cost = $15
-
Funding a single Read Your World Teacher Celebration Kit costs $100.
Each of the books normally costs between $9.99-19.99; shipping for media mail costs between $4.99 - 10.00 by weight. When you support this campaign, about 50 teachers will receive our kit to add to their classroom libraries for free.
50 Read Your World Teacher Celebration Kits: 50 Kits x $100 = $5000
100 Read Your World Teacher Celebration Kits: 100 Kits x $100 = $10,000
5 Read Your World Teacher Celebration Kits!
If we raise $5,000, we will be able to send 50 Read Your World Teacher Celebration Kits! If we raise more, we can increase the number of kits that we can mail out.

Help Us Fight Against Banned and Challenged Books
In this current climate of challenged and banned books, it is more important than ever to get diverse books into the hands of readers. Kids need to both see themselves reflected back in a book AND see people who are not like them. This builds empathy.
With your help, we can open children's hearts and minds to do this important anti-racism and anti-bias work. You can make a difference by donating today to Read Your World Inc.
Whether it’s a generous grand, the amount of a cup of coffee, or a dollar to help us cover GoFundMe transaction fees, donations large or small help tremendously! If you are not able to donate at this time, a simple share will go a long way to support teachers and diverse children's book creators.
Thank you for joining us to promote diversity in children's literature!
