Picture Books for Older Readers Nominees

Wabi Sabi
By Mark Reibstein
Illustrated by Ed Young 

     Wabi Sabi, a cat, wants nothing more than to find out what her name means. As she travels across the county of Japan in search of her name’s meaning, you are exposed to beautiful pictures made from combinations of collages. Told top to bottom, the story unfolds in narrative, highlighted by haiku written by Basho and Shiki (both famous Japanese poets).
