Introducing Grace's Musical Haiku AdventuresIt turns out Grace isn't just a musician, she's also a poet!
Like millions of people around the world, Grace found herself with more time on her hands during the last three months. Her e-learning didn't take as much time as a regular school day. She couldn't see her friends in person, only on video calls. And she couldn't lead the band, go to concerts, or do many of her regular activities. So, she learned a new skill: writing haiku poetry. By: Center For Functional Learning Ltd As author Ken Korber says, "Grace had some poetry on her mind. And, feeling a little lonely like we all have, she wanted to write it down to share it with her friends—and with you. So, she created this book of musical and nature haiku." Haiku poetry is a special short form of Japanese poetry. And it has a specific structure: three phrases adding up to 17 total syllables. As a form of poetry, haiku first emerged in Japan in the 1600s and was brought into Western writing by a Dutchman in the 1760s. In her book of haiku, Grace chose to focus on (surprise, surprise) musical themes and inspiration from nature. Her themes make the book a great choice for summer reading and sharing. This year, with the regular academic rhythm interrupted with school closures, summer reading may be more important than ever to stop the "summer slide," or the ground children lose when they don't practice their literacy skills during summer break. Many libraries across the country have taken their summer reading programs online with apps available to log the number of minutes (and books) children read. Participating in these programs and adding new books to your library can help keep interest in reading high. Grace's Musical Haiku Adventures is written in kid-friendly language for emerging readers ages 3 to 6. It's also intended for teachers to use in classrooms too, from early childhood and early elementary to music classes. Learn more about the book and order your copy HERE.
