Two puppets ponder where they came from

On a sunny day, Yellow and Pink—a thin yellow puppet and a round pink one—try to explain their own existence. Their conversation considers both chance and the possibility of a creator, giving this picture book a playful frame for questions about how life begins. When the pair seem to reach an answer, a man’s arrival opens the inquiry up again. The story’s central interest is less a settled explanation than the different ways its characters reason about origins.

Book overview

Yellow & Pink is a witty, contemplative picture book by William Steig, the Caldecott and Newbery Medal-winning creator of Shrek!.

On a fine day, a thin, yellow puppet and a round, pink puppet sit in the sun. They wonder where they came from. Were they an accident of nature, created by a series of possible but improbable events? Did someone create them? They discuss their theories, and think they may have an answer. But just as they settle on a solution, a man arrives who raises new questions.
