Winner of The Canadian Children’s Book Center Choice Award, Haiku – One Breath Poetry, in the hands of Naomi Wakan, makes haiku approachable and easy to learn for both kids and adults. Grounded firmly in the Japanese haiku, the book blossoms out in the topics necessary for the appreciation and writing of haiku in English. The book straddles a great many deep subjects with aplomb, brevity and ease and includes a brief bibliography for different age groups. As blurb on the back is:

Pick up a pencil,
or turn on the computer . . .
now breath in, and write.

Over half of the book is given to identifying haiku, telling how-to-write haiku, haiku history in brief, and quoting haiku by ‘famous’ writers before coming to the haiku of Naomi Beth Wakan on page 57. Her haiku are arranged by seasons. A sample from autumn:

Planning to fasten
The vine up, I see
The spider did it first
