It’s Earth Day and we want to share two of our most hard-hitting environmental titles with you.
In Empty Hands, Open Arms, Deni Béchard gives an eye-opening look into the struggle for preservation of the Bonobo apes in the Congo, while offering a startling glimpse of the country’s already ravaged ecosystem and the fight to save what’s left.

Materials for Poem in your Pocket Day
This April, we’re letting poetry take over our newsletter. As a sponsoring publisher of National Poetry Month, we want to take this opportunity to share with you a few poems that you can print out and keep with you on April 24th — Poem in Your Pocket Day. On that day, people throughout the United States select a poem, carry it with them, and share it with others throughout the day. You can also share your poem selection on Twitter by using the hashtag #pocketpoem. Poems from pockets are unfolded throughout the day with events in parks, libraries, schools, workplaces, and bookstores. Become an ambassador for poetry!
