As some of you know Hope and I have been working on a children's book. We are having mixed feelings about the cover.

Background: The cover of my book "Come to My Window" (look at my avator) was really meant to be the cover of the book "The Adventures of Little Caesar" In my mind, she is looking out the window dreamimg of inviting people into her adventures. The focus of her adventures are to "teach" children manners, respect and appreciation.

We used "almost" the same cover for this book as "Come to My Window", my Coffee Table Book, More of the reflection and less of Caesar.

We are starting to think this will take away from the other cover.
Should we change the cover all together? Or use this same, but a bit different, mabe with some Holly added?

Your valued opinions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Naomi & Hope

I'm not sure about the cover without reading the book but like I said at your signing my guys would be happy to test your book for you. If you are looking for a larger group try the mom's site. Lots-o-kids mamas over there.

i think its beautiful, but you dont want people to look at it and think it is the same book they bought on a quick glance and not buy it..

That's a good point.

Na, do you have any other photos in mind so that we can make a comparison?

could you have a artist redraw that actual photo as like a childlike illustration?

i think it would solve both the identity issue and the child friendly issue. a artist could easily embellish or "kid up" that original cover....

Ditto!

Yes, most children's books have covers to appeal to the child. I agree with Chase on this one.

I also like Chase's idea.

But I am also of the opinion that the cover should be different than Come To My Window. Separate the two books.

If you want kids to read it, I got one that would love to read about cats!

I agree.. using the same image might not sit well with the publisher either..

Grab your photoshop and start playing.. its amazingly versatile..
you could make it into a whole new picture.. :-D

or you could try and take some new pictures...
