Story line

This time I'm mainly focusing on the story line. Caspar gave me feedback that I needed to think more about the story line, instead of focusing on visuals so that's what I'm trying to put into practice.

I've been racking my brain in deciding or not whether to go into an actual story line. Have Morgan experience and learn something. But my main idea was to incorporate information with a sense of mystery and engage the children themselves. The riddles and the info should be key.

Therefore I'm deciding to amp up the riddle factor of the book and have it be some sort of scavenger hunt. The front will only showcase the Haiku and some imagery as to provoke reaction from the children. The back will then be more detailed and explain the matter in a quirky, offbeat way. I'm trying to use some "older-sounding" language in order to have Morgan come across as wiser and more ancient, someone who's been around forever and sounds like an authority on the subject. The only thing I really made this time is the back of the cover and the introduction.

For the back I was thinking about asking for the child's name. And I started playing around with candles and such for a dated feeling. I finally settled on the Milky way cause I think it sets a better tone and doesn't make the children feel like they're reading a book from the olden days.

For the introduction I set the story of with a calligraphy letter, as to have it be an old-fashioned nostalgic fairy tale feeling. Also I wrote the intro.
