That's crazy! The first cover is better for your book--it fits. I think the second one would make for a great movie poster. It makes me think your book could be live action... like the characters are walking into a real live environment. Just do what you do best and stop worrying about it! You won the Newbery honor! Your books are going to be around for a long time and the design of that cover is beautiful. I do understand the urge to wonder - what if. All authors do it. And it's fun and educational to analyze.Meghan McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117528918335897128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-32168368966180092182010-08-05T21:30:40.258-04:002010-08-05T21:30:40.258-04:00When I show Where The Mountain Meets the Moon, to ...When I show Where The Mountain Meets the Moon, to non Asian customers, no one says <br /><br />"but the girl on the cover is Asian I can't read this"<br /><br />I don't think readers are even enough credit when it comes to diversity. Many simply want a good story. <br /><br />Had a customer in recently, looking for more of your books. Her husband read Where The Mountain Meets the Moon to their daughter, they both loved it. <br /><br />She got The Year of the Dog and The Night Fairy by schiltz <br /><br />I hate the alternate universe cover.
