The brief
A cosy pond-adventure picture book about two paper-boat-sailing kittens needed a cover that felt handmade at every stroke — the kind of book a reader wants to return to a second and third time.
The solution
Warm watercolour with visible pencil underdrawing, amber late-afternoon light, and a centred two-character composition that reads clearly at thumbnail and rewards a closer look.
