As we all wake up, the outside world bustles with life Discover new facts about familiar creatures--from fluttering moths and scurrying beetles to shy foxes and humming bees--as they go about their morning activities. In the city, the countryside, and the suburbs, nature can be found everywhere A series of haiku takes readers on a closeup, observational look at the amazing abundance of nature right outside our homes. Each stanza focuses on an aspect of the natural world or a creature going about their daily activities as the sun begins to rise. Alongside the haiku, informative text goes into depth about each subject--from how much honey a bee can make to the size of a hummingbird's egg. Instructions to help kids create their own haiku poems, a unique form of poetry from Japan, as well as a glossary add value for a STEAM and Core Curriculum book that can be enjoyed both in the classroom and at home.
