Book Cover Challenge 1

Since Professor Takero Doi—who has been so incredibly helpful to me— kindly passed the baton to me, I’m posting a book cover. I love picture
books and have started creating Digital Ehon books, so I’m sticking to the picture book theme.

For the first day, we'll feature Bruno Munari's "Circus in the Fog."

The rules are: “Post one of your favorite books every day for seven days. Upload just a picture of the cover without any description of the book, and invite one Facebook friend each day to join this challenge.”
I’d like to connect with all the picture book authors I’m friends with on Facebook. Since I’ll be introducing your works and mentioning your names without prior permission,
if you happen to see this post and feel like giving it a try, please do.
So, for the first day, I’m featuring Koji Ishikawa.
When you think of Koji Ishikawa, his masterpiece is “Various Animals: A Cutout Picture Book,” which has sold over 2.3 million copies, but of course, my absolute favorite is “Fune-kun’s Journey.”
I have fond memories of creating the Digital Ehon for *Fune-kun’s Journey* and hosting the *Fune-kun’s Journey* exhibition!
Even now, I’m deeply grateful for the support I receive from the Digital Ehon Awards.
