Haiku verses accompany 12 scenes of rain in a variety of natural settings. Each double-page spread features one haiku and one engaging, detailed illustration, such as mountain goats on hills, puffins flying near a lighthouse, and Japanese girls walking amid falling cherry blossoms. Each scene takes place in a different kind of rain. The book will inspire readers to write their own haiku.mjw
