Book of the Week: Song of the Water

Ginka Biliarska reminds us that it’s never a bad thing to get reacquainted with beginner’s mind, in this case from the experts themselves, in this charming bilingual anthology of children’s haiku and painting from Bulgaria (angoboy, 2004).

You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

A boat is sailing
on a sunny path
chasing the wind.
	Anita Elenkova (age 7)
Autumn is outside.
Water is in my dream.
I’m a small bird.
	Kalin Popov (age 11)
In the big river
there is not any water.
The evil comes.
	Snezha Ivanova (age 10)
