PS
"Achy-heartbreak love, / miss-you-so-much-it-hurts love. / Please hurry home, love." The haiku in this collection express love for a pet dog, bicycle riding, a new friend, lemonade, and other things. Many poems are strong, child-appropriate examples of the Japanese form, but overall the collection lacks cohesion. Sweet and simple multimedia art also spotlights love in the small, attractive square book.
