One Leaf Rides the Wind

One Leaf Rides the Wind by Celeste Mannis




This is a Haiku, and Celeste uses the numbers that we know to create a whole book out of Haikus!

With the use of the numbers, children are able to learn them better and have connections to the animals and nature that surround them on a daily basis. 

The repetition and reiteration of the numbers allow the readers to practice their counting and their words! Also, the images lay out the exact amount that the child is reading in order for an easy follow and book interaction.


"8, 

What do flowers dream?

Adrift on eight pond pillows,

pink-cheeked blossoms rest."


- Celeste Mannis
