Amazing book. I didn't know what to expect with the cover, but the surprise was pleasant. Well-done haikus are paired with luscious illustrations that feel like nostalgic mid-century paintings. I will be buying this book for many young ones in my life. Do yourself a favor if you love poetry or mid-century illustration, or just want to get lost in a lovely book, and find this book. It is amazing.

Love the playful way the poems are made to evoke the right images, the illustrations give nice clues.
Lion of the Sky explores the four seasons with colorful descriptive haikus and beautiful illustrations. This would be a wonderful addition to any young child's collection.
The use of metaphors and imagery in these poems help you to visualise the story and feel as though you are there experiencing the seasonal changes with the characters. There's a lot of personification and the use of 'you' to make the poems more personal to the reader. I would get older children to choose one of the four seasons, investigate the beautiful pictures that accompany it in the book and produce a piece of writing of their choice in response to this.

This post picture teaches kids about things that occur in the different seasons through the use of poems and very short poems. This would be a good story to teach students about haiku And how do you can use them and it would be a good starter for a unit.
A haiku book organized by season. The illustrations are very good and I love them, but the haikus were a bit «easy» or «light» I would say, probably not the best word, but just not deep enough for my taste even if there weren’t bad.
I was expecting deep poetry but then I found out it what it really was. This was my first haiku book.
It’s basically short poems that describe something, only it’s not explicitly spelled out, thus becoming riddles for the reader to figure it out.
This collection of poems/riddles celebrates the different aspects of the seasons alongside the beautiful illustrations.
Short poetry that didn’t really intrigued me, it wasn’t deep enough for my taste. But it’s a great collection to encourage little readers to dive into the poetry world. Definitely would recommend this book to parents.
With this book I learned that haiku isn't for me but it’s a great way to make poetry interactive for kids.
