Reviews
“This gorgeous picture book is a fine addition to seasonal and classroom collections, but it stands alone for its language and deft artwork. A lovely, evocative read-aloud."
-School Library Journal (starred)
"Autumnal bliss is at the heart of this poetic celebration of yellow foliage...Lovely, indeed. "
-Kirkus Reviews
"Stringer's lyrical text celebrates this fleeting moment in the fall season, and it's beautifully paired with her bold, riotous yellow scenes. A perfect read-aloud for autumn."
-Booklist
"Stringer offers up a poetic meditation on the transient wonders of autumn...a joyful reminder to make the most of fall…”
-Publisher's Weekly
"Years ago, Ms. Stringer marveled as the world outside her Minneapolis window was suddenly gilded with ash leaves, and she brings that sense of wonder to her impressionistic paintings of children, pets and inky-black crows, all rejoicing in “a symphony of yellow.”
-WSJ
"As colors go, yellow rarely gets to be the star of the show. Stringer is out to change that in this vibrant celebration of the central role it plays in the autumn palette. A radiant cast of children climb, skip, jump and dance through scenes of yellow-colored fall pleasures."
-NYTimes
“…From the book's cover to the endpapers, yellow makes each picture glow, and curved lines repeat throughout the story to reinforce the beauty of the natural world."
-Horn Book
"...The artwork swoops and swirls, especially at the wind’s arrival, and there’s a vibrant energy to the whole affair…It’s a breath of fresh air…and a picture book that exudes cheer."
-Kirkus Blog, Julie Danielson
"Joyful, vibrant, colorful are words that come to mind with this lovely picture book about the changing of the leaves making fall yellow time..."
-Five Star Review, Youth Services Book Review
