Multicultural Children’s Book Day
I’m thrilled to support the Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2021 campaign as an Author Sponsor. Read reviews on January 29th!
From the publisher:
“Hungry? Check the Green Book. Tired? Check the Green Book. Sick? Check the Green Book.”
In the late 1930s when segregation was legal and Black Americans couldn’t visit every establishment or travel everywhere they wanted to safely, a New Yorker named Victor Hugo Green decided to do something about it. Green wrote and published a guide that listed places where his fellow Black Americans could be safe in New York City. The guide sold like hotcakes! Soon customers started asking Green to make a guide to help them travel and vacation safely across the nation too. With the help of his mail carrier co-workers and the African American business community, Green’s guide allowed millions of African Americans to travel safely and enjoy traveling across the nation. For grades K-3rd. Available in ebook and hardcover form.

I saw a movie about the Green Book. But, I love that you’ve written a version for middle grade students. And, I’m glad you’re part of MCBD Day! Always fun to participate in!
I started my manuscript before that movie and was so excited for it then it didn’t even mention the creator and hardly ever mentioned the Green Book! Then it won an Oscar for Best Picture and thought, oh, no…now everyone will want to write about it! Phew I found a publisher first! LOL!
