Sydell Rosenberg (1929-1996) was a charter member of the Haiku Society of America in 1968 and served as HSA's Secretary in 1975. Her short poems - notably haiku and senryu - as well as other poetry, were published in various magazines and anthologies. Syd received her M. A. in English as a Second Language from Hunter College in 1972. It was Syd's dream to publish a book of haiku for children. She lived, wrote, and taught in New York City. Sawsan Chalabi is a Lebanese-American illustrator and designer. She earned her MFA in Illustration from Savannah College of Art and Design. When she is not at her computer making digital illustrations, she can be found in her studio getting messy with inks and paint. Her work has been published with several magazines and publishing houses such as Cricket Magazine, Bust Magazine, Wine & Spirits Magazine, Applied Arts Magazine, Penguin, and Lee & Low Books, among others. She currently resides in Washington, D. C.

"As a teacher Sydell Rosenberg was attuned to the spirit of children, and her sophisticated and fun haiku are particularly accessible for young readers. Touching on a wide range of subjects, Rosenberg invites kids to look and look again. Her keen observations and lilting imagery will inspire them to do just that. Sawsan Chalabi's charmingly quirky illustrations and stylized lettering present each poem with dash and personality that will enchant kids. Her delicately lined drawings are infused with vibrancy from a gorgeous color palette. Just like Rosenberg's haiku, Chalabi's pages are animated with a love for life that will resonate with kids-and adults. H is for Haiku would make a terrific gift for poetry lovers and a wonderful addition to home, school, and public library collections."-Celebrate Picture Books
"...a delightful exploration of the alphabet through Haiku. Each page explores a moment in time with lovely, lyrical and luscious language. Colorful, playful illustrations complement the poetic text. The illustrations feature whimsical word art that enhances the reading experience." -Writer's Rumpus
