Description

Discover the power of poetry in Theme in Yellow, a simple, modern introduction to Carl Sandburg, featuring an ode to autumn and the joys of Halloween.

I spot the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.

In Tatyana Feeney’s beautifully color-illustrated adaptation of Carl Sandburg’s beloved poem, children delight in the sensory and spooky arrival of autumn.

The book also includes a biography and photo of the poet, information about the poem, and resources to learn more about both Carl Sandburg and writing poetry.

Praise for Theme in Yellow (Petite Poems): A Classic Ode to Autumn

"Cheerful hues dominate at first and give way to -Halloween night- appropriate shades of black, but orange and the titular yellow are always present and help emphasize the holiday’s festive atmosphere."—The Horn Book Magazine
