Playing off the idea that we humans love vacationing in "the great outdoors," the cover of The Great Indoors is a hilarious tableau of forest creatures doing the opposite - crashing a standard suburban home for some much-needed R&R. The Great Indoors by Julie Falatko and Ruth Chan Is this not the most wholesome image you've ever seen? The cover of The Good Egg features several kitchen items in soothing pastel colors, with the bespectacled Good Egg at the front to show that he truly is the best of 'em. The Good Egg by Jory John and Pete Oswald Even as an adult, you can't help but want to high-five him back. The elephant on the front of High Five invites you to join by extending his own palm. High Five by Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieriįrom the creative duo that brought you Dragons Love Tacos comes this cute, original story about something kids can't resist: high-fiving. The compass and map on the cover of Hey Grandude! indicate the many directions that Grandude's adventures take him in this book (and his funky ponytail and bowtie indicate that he is indeed one cool dude). In addition to being the preferred moniker of Paul McCartney's own grandchildren, "Grandude" is a whimsical old hippie sprung from his imagination. Hey Grandude! by Paul McCartney and Kathryn Durst
The Happy Book by Andy RashĪndy Rash's bright, Peanuts-like cover of The Happy Book is sure to make you feel as happy as these characters look - especially when you realize the visual pun of them being a "camper" and a "clam." 12. Cherry and Vashti HarrisonĪnother touching family scene appears on the cover of Hair Love, in which a father sets himself to the task of properly styling his young daughter's hair - which, as we can see, "kinks, coils, and curls every which way." This picture book resonated with so many readers that it was even turned into a Sony animated short, which you can view here! 11. Needless to say, the image will make you hungry not only for the titular treat, but also for the story behind it, which is gently narrated over the course of Fry Bread. This children's book cover depicts a Native American mother holding her baby in one arm and a bowl of delicious-looking fry bread in the other. Fry Bread by Kevin Noble Maillard and Juana Martinez-Neal (And fun fact - this cover was actually created by a Reedsy illustrator, Lindsay Scott!) 9. The bright fuchsia cover of this super-cute (and informative!) kids' book features a cartoon portrait of "Frida Catlo" herself: an anthropomorphized animal version of the iconic Mexican painter. Frida Catlo by Courtney Acampora, Maggie Fischer, and Lindsay Scott It's made all the more striking when you realize that Jeffers created it through lithography - an old-fashioned, difficult-to-control technique that perfectly fits the message of the book. The Fate of Fausto by Oliver JeffersĮloquently billed as "a painted fable," The Fate of Fausto has a gorgeous nautical cover that demonstrates nature's overwhelming power over man. Elvis Is King! by Jonah Winter and Red Nose StudioĮlvis Is King! boasts perhaps the most impressive cover on this list if you look closer, you'll see it's no typical illustration, but a 3-D clay figure that's been photographed! The rest of the book's illustrations follow suit, so if you're a fan of classic claymation, definitely pick this one up. Seuss's Horse Museum is adapted from one of his unfinished manuscripts, with cover and illustrations by Andrew Joyner, who remains utterly faithful to the Seussian style. Seuss and Andrew Joynerīet you didn't know ol' Seuss still had a few tricks up his sleeve! Dr. Here we see Olive confidently approaching the mic at her school's variety show, as her peers look on excitedly from the wings.

Though this cover might seem basic at first, it actually speaks volumes about the central themes of The Boy at the Back of the Class: anxiety, isolation, and how to find people who will care, even when that seems impossible. Raúfīig red backpack, brown-haired boy, bright blue background. The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q.
As the title suggests, this story takes place on the border between Mexico and United States, a dichotomy that the cover conveys through the Christmas tree on one side and a cactus on the other. Between Us and Abuela by Mitali Perkins and Sara PalaciosĪ warm, cozy scene of two busy children is front and center on the cover of Between Us and Abuela. The two cats hint at what's to come in Another, a highly imaginative, reality-bending book - which is actually told entirely through pictures.
This sweet, simply designed cover makes good use of white space, with sparse but very bright spots of color.
