This edition also includes more than 160 of Issa’s most revered haiku and an introduction that provides essential background on Issa’s life as well as valuable information on translating (and reading) haiku.

A book that Grandmother, mothers, and children will love
Format: Hardcover
This is a lovely, lilting description of a day in the life of one family. Thoughtfully written with beautiful illustrations, it's a delight to read. The best part is how gentle and understanding it is of real life adventures/problems. I can't wait to read it to my grandchildren!
Thank-you Bee Johnson for sharing with us, we're all richer for it, especially the children.
