If you are on my Facebook page you’ve heard talk of an eBook in the works. (If you are not on my Facebook page go click LIKE… I’ll wait.)
You’re back?!?! Excellent. Okay as I was saying I have been working on an eBook. Are you screaming? Me too! I am so very excited. This little project is a dream come true for me and I get to share it with all of you!
The official launch day is July 9th 2012. Which is of course a self imposed deadline that I feel very passionate about keeping. So far I am ahead of schedule. Thanks to all of my awesome friends and family!
The 1st draft was finished (by me) a week ahead of schedule. The editing was completed last week. (4 awesome editor buddies had a go at it).
The eBook cover is now complete (thank you to my awesome brother in law!) but I still have to choose between two covers. I can’t decide, I love them both. PLEASE HELP! Just hop down to the comments and tell me which cover you like best.
Thank you. Thank you.
eBook Cover #1
eBook Cover #2
first i’m really looking forward to your ebook & thanks for honoring your readers with the opportunity to help. I love both designs! But i think for me, the first resonates “creative energy” more. Although i would maybe move the starburst more to the left (closer to center) at first i didn’t see the starburst & really liked the 2nd picture b/c of it. then i looked closer at the first! Or move the mom hand down a bit. Anyways, that’s just one person’s thoughts. thanks again

they are awesome but I am LOVING the top one just a smidge more!

They are both great, but I like the 2nd a bit more!

I think the 2nd one- Good luck!
Ohh…they are both so good! You just can’t go wrong with either one. If I have to choose, it would be number 2. Congrats on the e-book!!!

I vote for #1! But you can’t go wrong with either one! Congrats!
So exciting to see your project coming to fruition!!!
I personally would choose the second of the two brilliant choices.
From an Art Director’s perspective, I like how #2 fills the space and draws me in, in to the sparkle. From an ECE standpoint I think the ‘message’ of #2 is more ‘correct’: the sparkle is in the child and it is our adult responsibility to enfold them with care, support and direction.
All the best as you move forward.

I like how the spark is being transferred in #1, but I like how the spark is being shared in #2. The spark is a little hard to see in the thumbnail of #1. I’m leaning more towards #2. Love your title, and I can’t wait to read this!

I like number 2! Both are great! So excited for you!
Oh Jill!!!!! They are both amazing, I do love the second one!! I cannot wait to order your book!
Man, they are both so great. But, if I had to choose, I’d go with number 2. Really looking forward to this book!

Ahh! So exciting. I like them both but cover #2 pulls my heart strings a little bit more.

I like number 1 a bit more but both are beautiful. Just as a note,I fund your name a bit difficult to read,looks too small to me maybe because of the font.Good luck

Cover #2 for me….
#2 is my vote. I like the mommy’s hands around baby’s hands. Seems more nurturing and caring. What a nice brother-in-law you have.
This is so exciting I’m really looking forward to the release
. I like the 2nd one as to me it speaks of nuturing and caring for which is how I raise my children.

I like cover 2. To me it shows that the creative process is one which is shared – with the parent providing the scaffolding so the child can enjoy the process to the fullest. How exciting. Congratulations!

I love both, but photo #2 is my favorite. It just feels very warm and nurturing … gives the feel of truly nurturing that creative spark. Congratulations on your eBook!

I liked #2 at first glance, but both are nice! So excited! I was lucky enough to preview (via editing) and you’re going to love it!
2nd- it looks more nurturing.
Hmmm…that’s a toughy, but I have to say I like cover #1 a tad bit better.
I love #2! Very nurturing and the picture really draws you in – the first one is good, but the focal point is less obvious.
I like 2 the best!
Looking forward to the book! I vote for #2 – it feels more like a bonding relationship and seems to fill the page better. When I looked at #1 all I noticed are two hands sort of floating around – #2 feels more together and uses the space nicely. Good luck!
I like number 2 as well xxx
Love both! I think I’d go with number 1.

I like the first one. To me, it speaks more to our children having their own creative energy and our job to nurture it within each child independently. I agree with others that the spark in #1 should you choose it, might need to be closer or larger. Also, I just read your series about chapter books for little ones and found it very encouraging. Thank you for taking the time to write inspiring posts to parents!
Moriah,
Thank you so much for the compliment. It means a lot to me that those posts are helpful. You have officially made my day.

Congats Jillian. It’s been a long time coming! Number 1 wins my vote.
Love it – 2nd one for me!
I think they are both great. If pushed I would go for number 1.
I love the 2nd cover! It looks more like you do it together, and you create that creativity within them by supporting them and guiding them along the way.
So SO excited for you! I love both covers, but love the second one more.

Both are cute but #1 catch’s my eye more!:)
