This attractive collection features thirty poems written in a form of haiku and beautifully illustrated in dramatic watercolor. The beauty of haiku is the poet's ability to use descriptive language to convey poignant experiences in a few syllables. Haiku in English is most often written as three lines. Tradition calls for seventeen syllables, divided into three phrases that include five, seven, and five sounds. In this book, the author presents the four seasons and uses the delicate simplicity of poetry to capture ways in which children, like writers of haiku, are inspired by elements of nature, beautiful moments in time, and details observed by their senses. Readers can expect to find several poems to their liking and will be extremely pleased by the visual drama and imagery presented in each illustration.
