“Rarely someone passes,
a withered lead suddenly adrift,
here, there.“

My First Book of Haiku Poems | Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen

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.

Jon J Muth's 'Hi, Koo!' is a delightful exploration of the seasons through the eyes of the panda bear, Koo. With its haiku-inspired verses and lush watercolor illustrations, it introduces children to the beauty of nature and the art of concise expression. This book is a wonderful tool for teaching about poetry forms, seasonal changes, and the connection between language and nature

A beautiful short story about potential human/alien interaction in the far future, with the alien as narrator. Nnedi is excellent as always.

Poetree | Shauna LaVoy Reynolds

“If you want to share a poem with me,
Give it to the tall birch tree.
Or if you need a friend for writing,
Playing with, or sit beside-ing,
I'll be here for you joyfully,
Right beneath the Poetree“.
