Yellow Umbrella by Jae Soo Lia and Dong II Sheen (2001) is a wordless picture book with accompanying CD. The pictures are umbrellas in many colors, all seen from above. There is a page of sheet music with lyrics for the song “Underneath the Sky” at the back of the book. The CD has 15 tracks, which I could not listen to because I don’t own a CD player. It’s a fun idea for a book.
