Summary

Haiku introduces five styles of haiku to readers and includes projects on:
* Your first haiku--how to get started with the classic form of poetry
* Your favorite season--exploring nature, a traditional element in haiku
* Your own personal haiku--writing in haibun, a form of haiku that uses personal narrative
* Haiku with pictures--creating haiga, an illustrated haiku
* Haiku with a friend--developing renga, linked-verse haiku
The Asian Arts & Crafts for Creative Kids series is the first series, aimed at readers ages 7-12, that provides a fun and educational introduction to Asian culture and art. Through hands on projects readers will explore each art--engaging in activities to gain a better understanding of each form.
