“here i come” i call
but the fireflies
blithely go their way
this book highlights the japanese poetry style of haiku
This book is filled with very creative and moody illustrations. It is a great book for introducing haiku to students/children
On a journey, I'd have
as my companion on the road,
a butterfly.
This would be an excellent book to introduce students to the haiku style of poetry.
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.
Beautiful book! Very diverse within photos, text and language. Very simple yet deep stories
Great pick! This book has poetry in the form of Haiku. Also in different languages and with explanations of the pictures!
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
