Retouché
Picture-book cover in cut paper: a seed under a blanket of snow sending up one green shoot toward the light, white, brown and green, 'The Seed That Waited' in cut-paper letters and 'Olivia Nakamura' small beneath it. The cover artwork alone fills the frame flat and square-on, the words the only text, no crease, margin, publisher, barcode or quotation marks.
