Donating Profits from Our New Books

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? — benefit children in many countries through the IBBY Children in Crisis Fund (via USBBY). Profits from our new book, Clara's Kooky Compendium of Thimblethoughts and Wonderfuzz, will be donated to charities that bring joy to children in hospitals.

Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong offer many ways to integrate poetry into the curriculum

We Make It EASY to Share Poetry!

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!

Poetry Makes a Great Gift

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!
