It's great! It will definitely make people look twice to see what the book is about, but it's also just a fun picture that makes your topic look interesting instead of depressing. Fantastic choice!

Thanks for the responses. If all of you are indicative of the book buying public, I'll be all set! The feedback I've gotten on the book has been uniformly positive. The next beg thing will be the reviewers - what will they say?

Awesome cover! And so clear and simple! I'd definitely notice it on the shelves!

Well, that's what we want. It's got to stand out from the crowd at the biggest selling time of the year. I sure hope it can hold its own. It's like having your kid grow up and leave home, and you watch, do what you can, and hope for the best.

Looks really good John. My envy grows.

Thanks for your support. I know you're working on your own memoir, and I hope this shows people here that previously unpublished authors with interesting things to say do indeed get picked up by the major houses. So it's not all write, submit, reject, repeat.

Best of luck in your own writing.

Really like the cover! Congratulations!

What it captures--and without words--is that kids with differences and challenges of all kinds can also be disarming, engaging, appealing. It is so important to tell that part of the story, too. As you undoubtedly do!

It bodes well..looking forward to reading your book!

(And meanwhile, I keep waiting for some good news from my own agent:)
