My First Book of Haiku Poems | Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen

If you‘ve seen Fleetwood Mac‘s The Dance concert, you know what I‘m trying to capture. The layers of love, hurt, love, longing, hurt, love. Played out on stage. Among all four. But especially between these two.

This book would be great in a 1st-4th grade classroom. Seeing the poems in both Japanese and English could also provide a great tool for bilingual students who speak both languages. The reflection questions at the bottom also make this book a great read for independent reading and morning meetings.

This book contains a series of Haikus that were originally written in Japanese but are translated into English. Each poem is intriguing and thought provoking. One thing I really enjoyed about the book is how the author encourages the reader to think more deeply about the poems at the bottoms of the page adding more emphasis on the reflection afterwards.

The book is a whole poetry book that has Haiku poems. Each poem is in English and Japanese text, which I found to be very interesting. Each poem has a little descriptor at the bottom of the page that gives more background or another way of thinking about the poem.

a whole new garment“

I would use this with very young elementary students because in my opinion Haikus are easy to follow and are a great introduction to poetry as they are also easy to write.

This book is filled with various Haikus that each tell a different story. Specifically, I looked at one about the changing of seasons and how in Japanese culture it is customary to change into brand-new white garments- and a girl named Isa wrote a poem about it. I like how short haikus are and you are able to understand what is being translated.

This book would be perfect for any students in the classroom who are bilingual in English and Japanese. It also works well for independent reading and for a morning meeting since it provides a set of questions that go along with each poem.

At the bottom of each page, the author encourages the reader to think deeper about the haiku and asks questions to expand the readers understanding. With an eye-catching picture for each haiku, this book is guaranteed to grab any child‘s attention.

Book filled with classic Japanese haikus. This book would serve as a great introduction to the haiku style of writing poetry and would give students exposure to Japanese haiku authors. The art in the book is also unique as it shows the Japanese art style.

Poetry, published 2019. This book is great for poetry. It has many haiku poems in both English and Japanese text, which gives children more exposure to other cultures and languages. This is great to read aloud to children and for children to read on their own.

The poem I read represents the freedom of a firefly being able to escape whenever it wants. A haiku is short and sweet. The haikus in this poem are very childlike
