Hi Holly,
Can you give any Info on children's book cover design, how to decide what kind of imagery to display, best layout, or do you already have a video of this or similar?

I enjoyed this video so thumbs up for you! Good to see kiwi on the tube! ☺️

Really enjoy all these insights. I’m not about to publish anything but just super curious to have a look into all the behind the scenes of the industry and the different approaches to creating things I love - like books :)

Would it be too much to ask for that video of you breaking down colors and what they mean ? :)
