      @Chip-Valecek a slippery slope, but I think most will choose wisely👍

        This is exciting! I’m thinking some fairytale or the little prince.

              @ajillustrates no surprise there 👍😉 The Little Prince is a classic.

                I asked my son because I couldn’t decide and he immediately shouts out Eragon! So I’m doing Eragon. 😂

                  Do people know Terry Pratchette stories? I want to do “The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents” but I worry that not enough people know who Terry Pratchette was.

                    I'd like to do a cover for The Giver, by Lois Lowry, a middle grade book. Is everyone familiar with that story? Just want to be sure since I had a surprising/bad experience at a recent conference where both an art director and a picture book author/illustrator didn't seem to recognize the story.

                      As long as the book exists, I would just reference the book and maybe a link to the synopsis. I for one can not read, I have a hard time with it. I am a visual person and brief graphic novels over books. So this is going to be a hard one for me. I think the last book a read was in high school. I guess I should just do that one. I think it was Lord of the Flies.

                        @Chip-Valecek could you not do a book cover for nursery rhymes - I have two oldies (book collections) that I love?

                          @Johanna-Kim Not sure, sounds familiar -reminds me of The Stone Soup -read that one once in high school.

                            @Aleksey One of my very favorite writers--I've read everything he wrote. Amazing Maurice would be awesome!

                              @Johanna-Kim I love The Giver. It is definitely a classic and I would love to see what you would do with it!

                                @Heather-Boyd I'm sure that would be fine. As long as its not made up and it clearly defines what is in the book.

                                  Cheers Chip, I like the prompt. I think Lord of the flies would suit your style really well too.

                                      OOOO! Just saw this - pretty excited to see what everyone comes up with, and I love that we're going with well known stories.
                                      I think I'm going to go with either the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" or the YA "Island of the Blue Dolphins." Anyone familiar with those stories?

                                      Also @Heather-Boyd - my friend told me the story for Stone Soup while camping once - brings back good memories.

                                      I also agree with @peteolczyk for @Chip-Valecek - I think Lord of the Flies would be way up your alley.

                                        @kaitlinmakes Both of those would be so cool. I read Island of the Blue Dolphins LONG ago but remember really liking it. But I've got to say that I think Yellow Wallpaper would be AMAZING and darkly fun !!

                                          Hey everybody,
                                          I did The Knight in Rusty Armor by Robert Fisher. Below the piece.

                                          TheKnight.jpg

                                          I read the book many years ago; but here is the best book summary I found.

                                          http://www.jfdperfsolutions.com/modules/news/personal_improvement-book_summary~3A_~26quot~3Bthe_knight_in_rusty_armor~26quot~3B_by_robert_fisher.html

                                          The story is great and I highly recommend it. It is the story about a person finding the real values of family and facing hard challenges.

                                          Thank you and good luck,
                                          Jose
