Mom's Review
Time for Haiku transports you to each season with the different haikus that each capture a moment, a feeling of that season. Illustrations depicting children enjoying the weather and activities associated with fall, winter, spring, and summer enhance the poetry, inviting the audience to consider themselves in the different moments. I am not usually much of a poetry person - I never really learned to appreciate it the way I wish I had - but I found Time for Haiku pleasing to read, and I think that sharing it with a child would be a grate way to encourage engagement with poetry from a young age. Back matter explains the format and history of haiku.
5/5. Would read with a child.
