MultiCulti Baby Supports Local Reading Initiative

July 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Boys Booked on Barbershops is a national, cutting edge literacy program designed to make the most of naturally occurring opportunities for young children to read in familiar neighborhood sites such as barbershops.

The Chicago Beverly chapter of moms of color support group Mocha Mom's Inc., set up a reading nook at Tots and Teens, a local barbershop and beauty shop located in E.vergreen Plaza shopping mall.  The nook will provide a wide array of wonderful reading options for children and teens as they wait for services.  

MultiCulti Baby, an online bookstore specializing in books with representations of children of color, donated books that are sure to inspire, educate and entertain.  "We support these efforts, because we believe in the power of reading and reading books with positive representations of people of color.  At the end of the day, our commitment is to being a positive presence in communities of color, so this was a natural service opportunity for us."  says Shannon Harmon, owner of MultiCulti Baby.
