Here's some of what they shared:
We Need Diverse Books Day was created to commemorate a decade of WNDB’s efforts to diversify the publishing industry. This holiday is intended to highlight the importance of reading books that reflect our beautifully diverse world.
WNDB is committing to donate 10,000 diverse titles in 2025 to schools and libraries. We believe that diverse books ought to be read and celebrated, especially as book bans disproportionately target them.
To celebrate We Need Diverse Books Day, we invite you to read and share a diverse book on social media. Tell us what book you’re reading and why you picked it!
There's lots more suggestions of ways to celebrate We Need Diverse Books Day on WNDB's website here.
Illustrate, Translate, Write, and Read On,
Lee
