'A-Train Allen' Book Review - Multicultural Children's Book Day

I think this is my fourth year reviewing books for Multicultural Children's Book Day! If you need ideas for multicultural children's books to add to your home or school library, MCBD is a great resource. They also have free classroom kits and other resources for bringing diversity into story time. Anyway, this year I was gifted a copy of "A-Train Allen" by Lesley Younge to review. This book was a grand prize winner of the Own Voices, Own Stories Award from the Cherry Lake Publishing Group. The Own Voices, Own Stories Award is offered every year to a new author from historically marginalized groups. This award helps get diverse books in bookstores and on bookshelves!

So first, let me say CONGRATULATIONS!! to Lesley Younge for winning the award and getting her book published. And now, I can tell you a bit about the book!
