H Is for Haiku

“...Sydell Rosenberg's haiku invite
children and their parents to slow
down, linger, and pay attention to the
moments we often overlook.”

Haiku. What is haiku's magic?

Haiku winnows.

Haiku potters.

Haiku shimmers.

Haiku looks you straight in the eye.

Haiku winks.

Sydell Rosenberg's collection of twenty-six haiku is haiku at its best, winnowing, pottering, shimmering, staring with truth, winking. The illustrations are perfectly haiku-ish themselves, quietly reflecting the words without muting them.

Lovely.
