Covers can make or break a book. I have worked hard on the cover of Be ~ Biblical
\nWisdom for Children. The birds came from a little nest situated in an apple tree in my
\nbackyard. Daily I would go out with my macro lens and take a picture of the babies
\nas they grew. I loved watching them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I started thinking about the cover to the book Be ~ Biblical Wisdom for Children
\nI was stuck. Nothing came to me. One day, weeks after the birds had left, I thought
\nabout how baby birds need to be fed, and I started thinking about the Robin babies
\nand how it would fit into Be ~Biblical Wisdom for Children. I dug out my files, and I
\nstarted looking at the angles I had taken. I started playing with the ideas, and after
\na few weeks, I came out with what you now see.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today, I decided to show the original picture. Sometimes when you are creating
\nyou don’t really know how the pieces will all fit together, but you just need to play
\nwith them and explore your ideas. I think this is a lot like life. Sometimes we have
\nto struggle through the process to fully see the potential.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I had to rebuild the cover numerous times. Sometimes I wanted to give up and go
\ninto a different direction; however, now that it is complete it is one of my favorite pictures.<\/p>\n
