Baby Haiku
Turn Your Parenting Experience into an Empowering Journey!

A newborn's arrival in the world can be a frustrating and challenging time for new parents. Trying to understand a baby's wants and needs is often complex, leaving parents exhausted and looking for answers.

Lily Wang has the solution with Baby Haiku, an innovative and powerful book of Haiku poetry perfect for the time-starved new parent. Combining the essence of Eastern and Western poetics, Wang creates an essential tool to help you understand your baby through the simplicity of Haiku.

Wang skillfully revives the role of poetry to delight and instruct. "The true motivation behind this little thin book," Wang said, "is to make a better tomorrow for future generations by honoring what parents are doing today."

Most parents are physically and materially ready for a baby's arrival. But mental preparation is sometimes more difficult to obtain. Wang helps bridge this gap with her inspirational poems that speak deeply to a parent's soul. Parents will learn how to relax and enjoy this special time, achieving a Zen-like existence in their chaotic lives.

Wang helps parents experience the true sense of significance associated with taking care of a baby. With Baby Haiku, parenthood becomes an empowering spiritual journey!

From the Back Cover:

"Upwards of 80% of all new mothers experience some degree of postpartum depression. By taking a few moments to read through the 52, three line formatted, haiku poems comprising Lilly Wang's very highly recommended "Baby Haiku" poetry collection, any new mother experiencing the 'baby blues' can find comfort and therapeutic reflection. The poetry is thoroughly 'reader friendly', contemporary, and focused upon having a new baby, celebrating the bonding of a mother to her child, and applying an Asian style wisdom to a commonly encountered and contemporary experience. #28 Pray for one more grace/To share his kindred soul--/A pink blossom, it's a girl."
