Overview

Follow the travels of 17th century Japanese poet, Basho, through the beautiful and immersive writing of Dawnine Spivak paired with vivid illustrations by Demi.

Grass Sandals is the story of Basho--one of the best-loved poets in the history of Japan--and his journeys on foot around his home. Simple and observant, this book gives glimpses into the ancient culture of Japan, as well as a sense of what it is to be a poet, as the people and experiences that Basho enjoys find their way into his haiku.

Children will be charmed by Basho's walking journey, his tenderness and scant belongings, and his attention to the small details of life.
