A Multicultural Literacy/Charity Opportunity!
The young and fabulous Ari at Reading in Color emailed me about this wonderful program, and I'm sharing the news with you. Ari and I are both really passionate about spreading awareness of multicultural literature (although she has been a lot more active about it than sad, sad me). This combines several of my interests, and you'll be sure I'll be checking out ways I can help!
Thanks for posting about this!
ReplyDeleteI think you do a pretty good job of promoting multicultural lit. You're one of the few people I can get really excited about Asian main characters with! On that note, Gateway by Sharon shinn was decent =/ I was hoping for the whole 'Chinese girl on an action-y adventure.' yeah not so much. Oh well. Can't wait for the Agency :D
