Book Description
These 26 delicious scenes retrieved from childhood help us, young and old, to revisit those times and to share them anew. Not the cookie-cutter haiku you'll find in similar books, Liz Crocket's work will introduce your child (and perhaps you!) to the way contemporary haiku has evolved over the past half-century, and perhaps inspire you to capture your own special moments in the same fashion. -- Jim Kacian, Editor-in-Chief, Haiku in English: The First Hundred Years Elizabeth Crocket has filled this book with happy stories from nature, lessons on life, great ideas for children to try, and lots of family love. The 26 haiku--as many as the letters in the alphabet--present fine examples of alliteration "birthday bat", expression "cutting teeth", suspense "suddenly..." and hinge questions, "do you love me?" Short and simple to read on 3-lines following the form of traditional Japanese poetry, these haiku can inspire children from as early as two to become creative writers too. - David McMurray (Asahi Haikuist columnist in Japan)

Book Description
A collection of haikus with positive messages, meant to inspire, motivate, and uplift the reader. One day, as I sat in the corner of a dimly lit pub reading a book of haiku, most of which were random nonsense, the idea hit me. Why not write a book of haiku that provided people with some take away sense of usefulness and satisfaction? A book of haiku with meaning and purpose that some might read and think to themselves, "Wow. This really 'speaks' to me". A collection of haiku that might brighten one's day, change a particular course, or even alter a certain mindset in which you may find yourself.
