One Leaf Rides the Wind

This book is really fantastic! The lush illustrations are gorgeous, and have an authentic Japanese feel, while at the same time teaching children counting, easy to digest and understand information about Japanese gardens, and poems that introduce your child to haiku. My parents have an ethnic heritage, and love it when I buy books with an Asian undertone, and they both were highly impressed with this children's book, as was I! If you love to collect books for yourself, or your children, I highly recommend this beautiful book.

This book is great if you love simplicity and beauty, My little girl is a bit to young to read it on her own for sure but she loves the colors and I can tell once she is out of the board book out year it up stage she will love it!

Fantastic book - covers counting, haiku poetry, and items found in a Japanese tea garden - with lovely art. I wish there were more books like this for the many cultures of the world.

For teachers, kids, families. this book has it all. Haiku, cultural information and gorgeous illustrations. It's also a counting book. what more could you want?

Lovely introduction to the gentle art of haiku poems for young children. All the text is in Haiku form and the illustrations are a delight. Children are drawn in by the simplicity and keen to have a go at writine some for themselves after such an inviting introduction. Great classroom book for Japanese teachers and English classes stuying poetry styles.

Precious, thoughtful book. My 19 month old enjoyed it. Grannie

very beautiful illustrations

This book has beautiful illustrations and thoughtfully written haiku poems. It is a must have for a classroom or child's library.

My granddaughter liked the story especially as she went to Japan during the Easter Holidays.

I am disappointed with the book, is plain and for a 4 years old boy too simple and boring, lacking a story.
