About the Author Frank Asch is a children\'s book author living in Vermont.
Stamaty\'s imagination to fill the space is as limitless as the world was to a young boy in 1970.
Delightfully grotesque humor lurks in the scenery of Yellow Yellow from page to page, rewarding multiple readings.
In scratchy black ink drawings, Stamaty builds a bygone city filled with small storefronts--shoe stores, bookshops, delicatessens, and barbershops--all packed with detail upon detail.
As the boy innocently wears his Yellow hard hat down city streets, he is oblivious to his surrealist fun-house surroundings filled with fantastical neighbors, such as an old lady on a unicycle and a punk with a head full of fish vacuuming the sidewalk.
Yet the story comes alive via the visual feast of urban oddities that the Who Needs Donuts? cartoonist Stamaty packs in the background of this rediscovered children\'s classic.
Eventually the boy meets the owner of the hat and must return it, leading the child to make his own Yellow hat.
With no parent in sight, the boy wanders the sidewalks to find a Yellow construction hat that quickly becomes his favorite belonging, earning him many compliments from strangers on nearby stoops.
