This blog offers looks at and comments about children’s and young adult book covers. Recent posts have discussed the design of book spines and the trend for covers with feet, legs, and sometimes whole bodies hanging from the top of the book.


Jacket Whys' author, a Connecticut youth services librarian and former graphic designer, examines why the covers above are successful and show some other covers considered less successful.
