Haiku Picturebook for Children
Author | |
Abstract |
"The haiku for this picturebook were written by some of Japan’s most famous masters; they were chosen by Keisuke Nishimoto, an award-winning author. He has arranged the haiku in a seasonal pattern, starting with spring and ending with winter, and has provided the commentary for each. Illustrations are by Kozo Shimizu, a well-known artist for children’s books who has won both Japanese and international awards for his work." (text taken from asianamericanbooks.com)

This is a lovely picture book that I plan on using with my elementary students. It is great to have the Haiku written in both English and Japanese. The children that I shared this book with loved looking at the beautiful illustrations. Sharing this book with children would be a wonderful way to introduce them to Japan and the art of writing haiku.
