(2) PS Translated by Empress Michiko of Japan. Illustrated by Mitsumasa Anno. Capturing the voice of earliest childhood with simple and limited vocabulary, Mado crafts his second book of poems available in English, each composition accompanied by the original Japanese on the verso. Although certain poems teeter on the precious, the best create strikingly childlike original images. Anno's monochromatic decorations honor the book's understated simplicity.
