There’s lots of information out there about how bad things are, environmentally speaking. But there isn’t much about what people can do–and are doing–to make things better. Every single one of us can make a difference, and Books for a Better Earth highlights people’s efforts in books that are full of hope and inspiration. The books themselves are printed on sustainably sourced paper and printed in a way that minimizes waste when the books are assembled.

The Nebraska Center for the Book and the Nebraska Library Commission give these awards to outstanding books by Nebraska authors, published by Nebraska publishers, or about the state. Of the 14 awards given out, Rhinos received three: Youth Book, Nonfiction: Natural History, and Illustration (congratulations to Matt Huynh!).
