FROM SARAH:

A lovely book for all ages, written entirely in haiku. It would be fun to read this aloud and then try your hand at writing your own haikus.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

This haiku collection will enchant both nature lovers and budding poets. The spare, lyrical text describes a series of short vignettes, each of them taking place in a different kind of rain, from thunderstorms to falling flower petals. The poems—some serious, some gently humorous—depict scenes from all over the globe: a horse struggling to plow a field, a father changing a tire while his children play, and two friends making up after a fight.
