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.
