Yellow Umbrella

(3) PS Recalling the famous title sequence from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, this wordless book consists entirely of paintings of umbrellas as viewed from above, gradually gathering and revealed to be sheltering children on their way to school on a rainy day. The concept is slight but its execution is completely gorgeous; an enclosed CD of sprightly piano variations is cued to the page-turns as a soundtrack.
