Hi Karrie!Your illustrations are lovely and full of emotion. As a fellow author, I really appreciate how you’re exploring sadness in a way that feels gentle and safe for children. The cover font you have now is clear and readable, which is great for thumbnails, but it doesn’t fully capture the feeling your story already holds. You might look for something that feels softer and more personal, like a font that looks slightly handwritten or rounded. Fonts such as Patrick Hand, Fredoka, or Comfortaa could keep that warmth while staying readable. For color, a muted blue, lilac, or even a warm cream tone would blend beautifully with your artwork. Those tones help the title feel calm and comforting instead of heavy. Small changes in word size or placement can also make the title flow with the illustration rather than sit on top of it. If you’d like, I can show you a few examples or mock-ups that match your story’s tone. You’ve built something really heartfelt, and with the right typography, it can speak to children and parents before they even turn the first page.
