Cover Art Revealed!

October 6, 2021 by still a dreamer

I’m excited to share with you the cover art for my forthcoming picture book, Where Do Butterflies Go at Night? This beautiful artwork by illustrator Stella Mongodi will certainly be the inspiration for readers of all ages to dive right into the rest of the book. As I begin to receive two page spreads as Stella moves along, I am not only in awe of how gorgeous this book will be (is becoming!), but also that my dream of being a published author is actually becoming a reality.

I am so grateful to my publisher, Ethicool Books, for bringing my story to light, and am so excited to promote it, learn new ways of doing so, and in working with people – Teigan at Ethicool and Stella – who genuinely care so much about a perfectly beautiful finished book.

To all my dear fellow bloggers that I usually visit, please be patient — I’ll get there. Life is calling me in many ways, but my blogging buddies are always in my heart!

      Isn’t that the truth? I’ve been working towards this goal for a long time, and it still sometimes seems unreal, but it’s awfully exciting! I hope you’re well; I’ve ben under the gun work-wise with multiple projects and new people at the helm and it’s been a lot. I will come by as soon as, though. I do miss checking in on my friends. 😦

    Jeanne, each time I see this beautiful cover, I love it more and more! Children and adults alike are in for a treat once this book is released. Congrats, my friend.

      I know, right? πŸ˜€ And I like that our names are equal in weight, unlike over here where the author often takes such precedence and the illustrator, a second place. It’s a collaborative effort, at least with Ethicool, and I love that.

          Maybe someone you’d want to look into? Do you do picture books? About the earth, the planet, making the world a better place for kids? πŸ™‚

            Yes, I do have a story I’ve been working on that would fit that category!

            Great! I’m sure you’ve visited their website, so you know what they’re looking for, etc. They are so lovely to work with, and they’re putting out some really nice books. Good luck, Becky. Keep me posted!

      Stella is an amazing illustrator, and I suggested her for this book, because even though I do illustrate, I know she could bring my story to life in a way I couldn’t. Thank you!! It will come out in the Spring!!
