Inspired by an article on Babble called, Judging a Book by Its Cover: A 6-year-old Guesses What Classic Novels Are All About, I have asked my 6 year old what his thoughts are on a few Young Adult covers lying around the house. To take it a step further, I also had him make some cover art!
“Indelible is about somebody who is holding a flower that looks like fire, a fire flower. Then they were walking with it and dropped it. Somebody else found it and brought it home to keep it.”
This one just arrived yesterday for an ARC tour and Shawn snatched it up for today’s post! That cover is simply gorgeous! I love how he drew the rose. 🙂
I hope you enjoyed Shawn’s thoughts and artwork this week! Since a couple other blogs have expressed interest in doing something similar, I have decided to add a linky tool, so that you can also check out what they are doing as well! I hope you will give them a look see!
Don’t forget to let us know what you think! 🙂

Oh a fire flower! I love that! Great idea. It’d never cross my mind. As always Shawn has great ideas! Great post.

I love these posts.
But I think my 3 and a half – year – old daughter is too young for this. Or maybe I should just try it out.

LOL, so cute. Although if it was on fire and was dropped, I imagine a larger fire would sprout up 😉 Oh, kids.
Can’t wait for your review on this one!

This cover is really pretty — and reminds me a bit of the new cover for Champion by Marie Lu. Love the idea of a fire flower 🙂

Ah, yes. It does look similar to Champion.
