Dust Jacket Design
This dust jacket design of an original children’s book story is about a boy who moved into a quiet Japanese neighborhood.
Momo Meets the Neighborhood is a children's story heavily based off of the old Japanese tale called Momotaro. Momotaro is originally about a boy who befriends some brave animals and together they defeat the greedy orgres in order to return the treasure they stole from his town.
In this retold story, Momo and his family have just recently moved into their new home. However, Momo has been anxious and sad because he's been having trouble making friends with the neighborhood kids. In order to soothe his son's worries, Momo's mother makes kibidango for him to give as gift to the next door residents and for him to make some friends.
