random sunbathing surprise

PEEK-A-BOOK HAIKU a lift-the-flap book
Written by Danna Smith
Illustrated by Teagan White
Little Simon (2023)
This adorable board book has it all: board book quality, gorgeous illustrations, perfect little nature-based haiku poems, lift-the-flaps (always a favorite with the young crowd), hide-and-seek animals. PEEK-BOO-HAIKU is written across the seasons, so add that to its charm and discussion possibilities.
I love to write haiku, and Danna is one of the best haiku writers I’ve had to pleasure to interact with. I’ve admired many of her books. PEEK-A-BOO HAIKU is now one of my mentor texts.

PEEK-A-BOO HAIKU will make a wonderful gift for my almost 11-month-old granddaughter. IF I can give it away. Or maybe she gets her own copy.
Haiku + animals + nature + lifting flaps + hide-and-seek + seasons + board book + illustrations. Keeper!
