*LET YOUR IMAGINATION TAKE WING with childlike delight*, July 31, 2008
This review is from: Don't Step on the Sky: A Handful of Haiku (Hardcover)
It would be too bad if author Miriam Chaikin and illustrator Hiroe Nakato are not acquainted and on their way to a true friendship. Their work is combined in this truly happy book, "Don't Step on the Sky." It is "a handful of Haiku" for children, small in size and illustrated in spritely, colorful watercolors.
Haiku is sometimes quirky in a way that nudges the imagination - - its 'rules' are not rigid and thus unleash a child'd language like kites:
"After the rain a puddle.
Careful.
Don't step on the sky."
According to illustrator Hiroe Nakato, "THE IDEAL LIFE IS TO HAVE HAIKU EYES AND SENSES" and that is lovely, serious goal for a healthy, contented hife. Read & Enjoy; Read Aloud to Children, then savor their JOY!
