Mi cuaderno de Haikus

De Maria Jose Ferrada
Illustrated by Eleanor Perez

Little Shigeko always carries a notebook with her. On its pages, he writes down the things he is looking at –the flight of the thrush, the leaf that emerges from the tree or the cat that crosses the street– and shapes small poems that, according to his mother, are known by the name of haiku. María José Ferrada shows us that Haikus, small Japanese poems, are a way of writing, which is also a way back, towards the beauty and simplicity that surrounds us. This book is a journey through the seasons of the year, inviting the reader, big or small, to observe nature and capture it in words, just as Japanese poets have been doing for centuries.
