Sometimes there are books that are ageless, indeed Yellow Umbrella is one of those books.
The front cover makes me feel like im looking at the first Wet & Wendy photo shoot, taken from above on a city street.
Yellow Umbrella is a wordless illustrative book written and illustrated by Korean Jae-Soo Liu, it comes with a CD in which Dong Il Sheen has composed mesmerising piano music to transport the reader into their own interpretation of the story. When the umbrellas pass over a bridge, the music changes to the pinging sound of rain falling on metal, transporting you right into the pages of the book. It's so wonderful.
You can also see Shanna Sweeney's adaptation of the book here and get a taste of the original music too. Click here, this is great.
