Afternoon on a Hill – by Edna St. Vincent Millay, illustrated by Renée Kurilla
“I will be the gladdest thing under the sun!”
In this luminous picture book, Edna St. Vincent Millay’s beloved 1917 poem is brought to life through whimsical, imaginative illustrations. Follow a joyful wanderer as she runs over grassy hills, marvels at towering blossoms, and delights in the beauty of the natural world.
With only twelve lines, the poem offers a timeless meditation on wonder, simplicity, and the happiness of being outside. The illustrations expand each phrase into a dreamlike journey, making Afternoon on a Hill both a celebration of poetry and an invitation to pause and notice the world around us.
