This is an imagination-inspiring, look-at-the-world-around-me-driving, and simply enjoyable read.

Every page holds a haiku, and these concentrate on all sorts of sights and things, which a person might see and not consciously take notice of—dry leaves floating on a puddle after a rain or a girl passing by on a bicycle. The haikus make these moments turn into something special, which will have listeners looking at the world around them through new eyes.

The illustrations are as creative as the haikus and add a fresh dimension to each moment. They are bold and unapologetic with their artistic flair. The haikus are slapped on the images or woven into them with various, not-to-be-ignored fonts to present a playful atmosphere.

It's a wonderful book to introduce haikus in a way which is anything but boring. Young listeners will be inspired to try to write a few of their own.
