During the pandemic, we were given new challenges. In response we've been innovating — finding ways to make this a better world. Here at Pomelo Books, one big change we made is to create books as fundraisers. We are donating 100% of the profits from our new books to charity.
Profits our "THINGS WE" series — Things We Do, Things We Eat, Things We Feel, and Things We Wear — as well as books in our "WHAT IS" series — What Is a Family?, What Is a Friend?, and What Is Hope? — will benefit children in many countries through the IBBY Children in Crisis Fund (via USBBY).
We hope our new fundraiser books inspire you and your children, too.
If you're in a hurry, Amazon will send you our books in a few days. If you have a little more time or you'd like to use a purchase order, we recommend contacting QEP Books, a small company with stellar customer service. Call them at (800) 323-6787. Or send us an email and we'll be happy to reach out to your favorite bookseller!
Successful K-12 teachers and administrators build regular “touch points” into their routines to create a safe and engaging learning environment. Poetry can be a powerful tool for offering a shared literary experience in just a few minutes, with both curricular benefits and emotional connections for students at all levels.
Our books in The Poetry Friday Anthology® series and the Poetry Friday Power Book series, as well as the morning announcement poems in GREAT MORNING: Poems for School Leaders to Read Aloud, make it easy to use poetry for integrating skills, building language learning, crossing curricular areas, mentoring young writers, promoting critical thinking, fostering social-emotional development, and inviting students to respond creatively. A shared poetry moment can help build a classroom community filled with kindness, respect, and joy!
If you can't decide which poetry books to buy, a good bet is HOP TO IT: Poems to Get You Moving. With 100 poems on a wide variety of topics — and "fact bubbles" for each poem — there's something for everybody. But reach out to the book experts at QEP and ask them for advice!
Tell us about your teaching, inservice, and conference needs—whether in-person or virtual! We love sharing our passion for poetry with teachers, librarians, administrators, and parents. Give us your dream scenario, and we can design a program to fit your needs with Zoom sessions or a back-and-forth writing program conducted with students via email, Padlet, and Google Docs. You can see a list of our upcoming speaking events on the Contact page and find many videos of us (and our poets) in action at Vimeo.com/PomeloBooks.
