One of the things I love so much about children’s books is how they help children (and adults!) learn how to experience the world through the perspectives of others. With that in mind, one of my goals for Book Dads this year was to review more multicultural and ethnically diverse books. To help achieve this (and because I couldn’t find a current challenge elsewhere), I’ve decided to create the Read Around the World Challenge.

THE BASICS:

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
* Decide which challenge level you’ll be taking on (see below).
* Make sure you grab the button above (right click to save it to your computer)
* Write a post to let all your readers know you’re taking part in the challenge and at what level. Make sure to link back to this page with the button and/or text link.
* If you have a blog, please use the Mr. Linky form below to enter into the challenge by entering the direct url/link to your challenge post url and either your name, blog name, or both in the form. Please only use the comment section to participate if you do not have a blog.
* Submit your reviews as you complete them on the designated monthly post (Generally will be on the first Sunday of each month).

CHALLENGE LEVELS:
The Passport Reading Challenge — Read to or with your child a picture book, chapter book and/or YA lit book by an author from another country (Exclude your own of course).

- Set a goal according to these levels:
* Intercontinental Level — Read 10 or more books by authors from countries on 2 or more different continents
* Savvy Traveler Level — Read 20 or more books by authors from countries on 3 or more different continents
* Marco Polo Level — Read 35 or more books by authors from countries on 4 or more different continents
