Luciano Lozano’s Japanese art–inspired illustrations, with their minimalist brushstrokes and dynamic perspectives, bring each seasonal moment to life with warmth and whimsy.Back matter includes a brief history of haiku and a guide to writing them, encouraging young poets to create their own reflections on the world around them.Hey, Mr. Snowman!
