Description

This book cover illustration by illustrator Christina Chung features a young South Asian protagonist standing on the deck of a wooden ship against a pastel sunset sky. The central character wears a white top and blue trousers, holding a rolled scroll while gazing toward the horizon with a serious expression. In the background, stylized waves crash against the ship's railing, and flying birds dot the sky beneath prominent purple lettering. The composition utilizes a warm colour palette with soft gradient tones, creating a nostalgic and adventurous atmosphere typical of middle-grade fiction illustration.
