Book Reviews of One Leaf Rides the Wind
Book Review: simply beautiful and beautifully simple
Summary: 5 Stars
The art is attractive, clear, and offers some surpising perspective changes (for example when the girl scares off 4 birds as seen from above all the action.) The haiku is clear, beautiful and accesible to young listeners. Several have a gentle humor that is really appealing.
There are several footnotes which explore Japanese culture and provide more depth to the story built into this counting book, which I think is an asset.
The last picture of the book encorporates all the the items counted from 1-10. It is fun to search for them.
My only wish is that the numerals on each page were not in the fancy-ish font which was chosen, but that could just be my early childhood education "persniketyness" getting in the way.
Summary of One Leaf Rides the Wind
Filled with lush illustrations, this counting book reveals both the pleasure and the tranquility of the Japanese garden, while introducing haiku poetry, with eleven poems that are simple and easy to follow. Follow along as the young girl explores the beauty of the garden, and discover the fun of haiku.
