WEYMOUTH Drawing inspiration from this past year and her own life experiences, Weymouth children s book author and illustrator Amanda Davis hopes that people look at her cover art on the front page of The Patriot Ledger and feel hopeful.
Davis said that the little girl looking out the window in her drawing, made through the iPad app, Procreate, is representative of all the time people have spent at home this year and not being able to venture outside much because of the coronavirus pandemic. She also wanted to depict a feeling of hope and peace.
The word PEACE is etched into the foggy window in her drawing and is a hopeful nod to the future and what people can look forward to a message Davis said is needed.
