My First Book of Haiku Poems

My First Book of Haiku Poems: a Picture, a Poem and a Dream; Classic Poems by Japanese Haiku Masters
by Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen (Author) and Tracy Gallup (Illustrator)

Booktalk: A fully bilingual children’s book, this poetry collection includes the original versions of the Japanese poems (in Japanese script and Romanized form) on each page alongside the English translation. Commentaries offer parents and teachers ready-made “food for thought” to share with young readers and stimulate a conversation about each work.

Snippet:


A 2019 Cybils Poetry nominee

Will you take the next step and write your own children’s book in 2020?
