Hello Kitty Everywhere!

by Kate T. Williamson, Jennifer Butefish, Maria Soares

Join Hello Kitty as she travels . . . everywhere!

This collection of candid photographs chronicles the adventurous and imaginative Hello Kitty as she journeys from the jungle to the moon and from reality to the world of dreams. Hello Kitty surfs the waves in Hawaii, reflects in a Japanese garden, strolls along Hollywood Boulevard, and shops the fine boutiques of Paris! Each hilarious photograph is accompanied by an original haiku written by Hello Kitty herself.

The most innovative Hello Kitty book to date, Hello Kitty Everywhere is destined to be sought after by 'tweens, teens, adults, poets, collectors, and more. Celebrate Hello Kitty's thirtieth birthday with this sweet and whimsical photographic journey-sometimes Hello Kitty travels to the most unbelievable places, but you can always find her in your heart. AUTHOR Jennifer Butefish and Maria Fernanda Soares have both been Hello Kitty fans since they were little girls. Now designers at Sanrio, they were inspired to create a new look for their favorite friend. Kate T. Williamson spent a year in Japan, where she studied haikus, sock design, and Japanese culture. This is her first book.

Cute, though some sections became a little repetitive.

I loved this book as a kid! It's very colorful with beautiful photos. The text isn't anything phenomenal, but it is a little book for little kids.

A sweet and silly look at Hello Kitty and her travels, through a series of Haikus.

[Danielle · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is mostly a coffee table book with photos of Hello Kitty plushies, but also with haikus.

I loved this book as a kid and was surprised when I went looking for it and found my local library still had the copy I read when I was little! Reading this book again now as an almost adult was a lovely trip down memory lane!
I was a bit surprised that after almost 10 years since I had read it I still remembered most of the haikus. They may not be the most amazing haikus ever but they are cute and the pictures are adorable! I only wish it was still in print so I could get my own copy!

2020 update
The haikus are still very basic but the nostalgias to strong for me to give anyone but 5 stars

If you have a little girl age 18 months to five who is in love with everything Hello Kitty this is a book for you! Every page has a charming haiku poem on it. Illustrations are witty and gorgeous. Maybe the haiku in this book will not take any poetry prizes, but they are perfect for my toddler who loves the book!

How does she do it? No matter where H.K. goes, she looks remarkly calm and put together. And now she writes haiku! But I am fearful that her omnipotence comes at the cost of more worldwide appearances by Chococat.

Enjoyably surreal. I kept imagining a pro photographer bending over tiny plush Hello Kitties in various public places, and what passers-by reactions might be.

Veg*n parents note: At one point, HK dresses as a "circus elephant."

My 3rd grade students read and wrote haikus for National Poetry Month. I know they will love reading the Hello Kitty haikus - they are very entertaining and the pictures are adorable and hilarious at the same time.

Artful photography and lively haikus make this book come alive. Of course, Hello Kitty fans will love it but it also serves as a great way to introduce haiku to children.

[Jessica · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a cute book of photographs and haikus. Each of the photographs are brightly coloured pictures of a stuffed animal Hello Kitty and on one side of the page there is a haiku about the photo.
