Nature: a book for lovers of trees, birds, animals, the seasons, and everything around us.

Little Shigeko always carries a notebook with her. In its pages, she writes down the things she notices — the flight of a thrush, a leaf falling from a tree, or a cat crossing the street — and shapes them into small poems that, as her mother explains, are known as haiku. María José Ferrada shows us that haiku, these small Japanese poems, are a way of writing that's also a path back to the beauty and simplicity all around us. This book is a journey through the seasons, inviting readers, young and old, to observe nature and capture it in words, just as Japanese poets have done for centuries.
