Want to share a children\u2019s picture book for National Haiku Writing Month<\/a>?\u00a0 Rain<\/em> by Anders Holmer is a lovely choice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The picture book is a collection of haiku, each celebrated by a two-page spread of sometimes dark, sometimes humorous, and sometimes hopeful illustrations.<\/p>\n

The topics of the haiku are not simple ones. For example, regarding a forest fire:<\/p>\n

Beneath the ashes are
\nseeds for a new forest that
\nmight burn someday too<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adults might shy away from the dark illustrations and\/or the darker topics for children, but it is actually offers much to explore and consider.<\/p>\n

Rain<\/em> will appeal to both nature lovers and budding poets. Pull it out for haiku month or for any rainy day.<\/p>\n
