      This is a book to savor quietly. Thirteen haikus, one for each month of the year and a final one about the earth and its seasons, join beautifully with lush watercolors from Ilse Plume. Although the poems aren't labeled with the months, readers will infer that the first one is about January. The fourth in the book reads "The morning rain bursts/ dandelions from the earth like/ countless little suns" and is accompanied by evocative pictures of dandelions and clover amid drops of rain. Backmatter includes a brief description of haiku, a page dedicated to "The Cycle of Life," and another page describing each of the four seasons. The haiku and the illustrations offer much to pore over.
