Beautiful Day: a Picture Book of Haiku-Inspired Poems Celebrating the Four Seasons

April 8, 2022 by Gavril Leave a Comment

Book coverA special kind of magic happens when heart-uplifting art fuses with short, delightful poetry. That’s the alchemy of a lovely picture book of haiku-inspired verses for kids titled Beautiful Day: Petite Poems for All Seasons brought to life by Greek author Rodoula Pappa and French illustrator Seng Soun Ratanavanh.

The vibrant illustrations filling the book remind us that each moment of the year, like each moment of our life, has its own inherent beauty, and to notice it we need to pause, take a deep breath, and pay attention.
