The final idea for the book cover was to do one for my daughter. I already knew the story, the characters, everything. My ex-wife and I have a book for Olivia right now that we keep a journal type ledger of thoughts for her to see when she's older. It's a really cool idea and I hope she'll enjoy it... there's gonna be some interesting questions, of that I have no doubt! Think of what your parents may have been like when you were a newborn? Am I going to be the same person in 18 years... I don't know, but there are things I want to tell her now that she can't either hear or understand or whatever. This book is like the visual counter part to the other book we have for her.
Elizabeth was on the money with the diapered and dangerous tagline, thank you! She's not all that dangerous, but it's funny and I like it. I ultimately removed the "Priceless" line from the final version and it makes me a little sad. I mean, wanted posters always have the bounty on them, and I wanted to make it clear that this one does not get cashed in.
