On Sale Now : New Releases

Below are all the children's and young adult books published in Januray that I am aware of which feature characters of color or a diverse cast. Usually I post this list at the beginning of the month, since I showcased 2012 titles I will looking forward to on the Dec. 31, decided to push this post back until the end of the month. The Feburary installment will go up around the 15th, than this feature will be back on schedule.
