Haiku Mama: Because 17 Syllables Is All You Have Time to Read by Kari Anne Roy, Colleen O'Hara
serenaac's review against another edition
3.0
Haiku Mama by Kari Anne Roy is a slim volume of 17-syllable poems called haiku, which is a Japanese form of poetry. Rather than celebrate the joys and beauty of nature, these haiku celebrate the joys and frustrations of new motherhood.
These little poems not only will make mothers chuckle, but they also contain a bit of truth that will have them nodding “yes, yes, yes.”
The poems are cute, quick reads for busy moms and the book contains illustrations on a number of pages, though readers may wish for more apt illustrations considering some of the topics addressed in the haiku. For instance, one haiku discusses the typical technique of pretending the spoon or fork carrying the food is an airplane entering the hangar (aka the child’s mouth). An illustration of the airplane and hangar method and its food-splattering results would pack even more of a punch.
