Summary:
"The idea for this book came from a presentation by the artist, in which she discussed her creative process. Morrison recommends using the Artist Book Ideation Cards developed by Julie Chen and Barbara Tetenbaum. As an example, using the cards, Morrison's color card directed her to use her 'favorite color.' Yellow became the defining theme for the resulting book. Most characters in Deep in the yellow woods are from other Morrison works, but she did introduction a new character - the yellow dog. The yellow goat, featured in previous works and one of her favorite characters, was inspired by an old comic strip, 'The yellow kid.' Through the years the yellow goat has had many adventures, and in this book, he is dancing to the music of Pan's pipes in the yellow woods - along with elephants, Eve's snake, the great rabbit in the sky, and the yellow, striped dog"--Vamp & Tramp website (viewed September 23, 2015).
