Illustrated by
Peter H. Reynolds.
Focusing on nature and seasons, each of Raczka's twenty-four haiku captures with amazing economy specific moments of a boy's life. Reynolds depicts the characters' glee and energy as well as natural elements in just a few deft lines. The pages are clean white, the book's shape is small and square, and each poem is accompanied by a delicate and funny two-color illustration.
