A delightful kimono clad child explores her tranquil Japanese garden in this beautiful counting book, One Leaf Rides The Wind.

Rich in traditional Japanese culture, each page reveals the gardens many secrets.
Six wooden sandals, eight lotus blossoms and nine glittering Koi fish.

Each number is followed by a clever haiku poem which tells us about the picture and which things to find and count.
One Leaf Rides the Wind picture book
Hoping for some crumbs.
They nibble at my fingers.
Nine glittering koi.

A short paragraph describes the traditional aspects of the focus of each page.
The Koi for example are popular symbols of determination and strength. They are admired for their colourful appearance and hardiness. An ancient legend tells of such a fish, that swam to the top of a waterfall to become a dragon.

This captivating book is accompanied by gorgeous illustrations. Children will delight in discovering the treasured bonsai and finding the little bird who follows the child on her adventure.

Learning new and though provoking ideas can stimulate interest and understanding of global cultures.

The native Shinto religion of Japan, teaches respect for nature in its many forms.
Kami are nature spirits said to dwell in all living things.

In ancient times Buddhist Monks trained Shi Tzu dogs to guard the temples and the five traditional roofs of the pagoda are said to represent earth, water, fire, wind and sky.

Counting is fun in this fresh and gentle book for early learners.
