“Perched on my shoulder do you miss human beings? red dragonfly” — Natsume Sôseki
Haikus are very short poems from Japan. They show us that life is full of poetry: a butterfly learning how to fly, a squirrel crunching on an acorn, a dragonfly landing on your shoulder… Take a good look around you! Everywhere, nature has incredible stories to tell. Can you see them?
Haikus, My First Poetry Book introduces children to these short Japanese poems, which are easy to understand and enjoy. Each poem made by a master of the genre comes with a beautiful illustration by Japanese artist Satoe Tone and a short text for parents, teachers, or children themselves. This text encourages conversation about each work and helps develop their thinking and sensitivity.
