Beautiful Day!: Petite Poems for All Seasons

Rodoula Pappa

A boy notices the world across spring, summer, autumn, and winter in a collection of haiku-inspired poems. The short verses observe seasonal changes and include a child’s wish to learn to fly from a mother swallow. Stylized, colorful illustrations incorporate origami, carp kites, and other Japanese objects. Together, the poems and images follow a child’s attention through the changing year.
