This heart-felt story of a boy seeking refuge required a sensitive design approach. The textss whisper-like transparency suggests it could drift away at any moment, and its careful placement throughout allows the evocative text and illustrations to unite. Early cover concepts explored decorative embellishments, yet the storytellingss strength lies in its simplicity and ease. The striking cover needed only a simple hand-drawn title with a hint of apple leaf to capture the imagination. The image wasnst wide enough to stretch over the entire cover, so a mirroring technique was used, tying in with the reflection motif featured throughout the book.
