Every book starts with an idea, a spark, a moment of inspiration, and travels through many hands until it ends its journey with a child. This blog will track the journey of one book, written by James Mayhew, and illustrated by Jackie Morris.

I love this cover, but are the "sky maps/star maps" gone forever?
I hope not, but if they are gone from the book, perhaps they can be prints or note cards or something wonderful. I love the "Winter Solstice" ...

OK - this looks great, I love that you've pulled in inside cover 'parchmenty' look to the outside - really looks good.
this is looking so beautiful, and i love the new idea for the front cover. love the new studio pics too. i think you really deserve a medal for your determination & commitment.
Helo Jackie, was really made up when I saw your post, I love following your work. Beautiful as always!
It's very beautiful, Jackie, well done again :)

ps.What is the white patch in front of the boat, is it spray from the whale?
Hi Jackie,
I love this back cover, its wonderful! I love the tiny details in the ochrey background and the whole idea of the composition with the circle details in the corners.
It's nice that you've got the whale back in there again too! Beautiful!
Gives a sneaky impression of what the front might look like, can't wait to see it!
Best of luck...
I love the old world look.
