For this assignment we had to research, conceptualize, sketch and produce a book cover in Illustrator for the book Wushtree, the New York Times bestselling story of kindness, friendship, and hope. Wishtree is a story geared towards the middle school audience (ages 10-14) about an old oak tree and the animals and people who depend on it. The red tags represent the red ribbon wishes people would tie to its branches.
