Wizard of Oz thumbs.jpg

A little late getting started this month, but here I am, haha! I'm really excited for this prompt, and I was really enjoying scrolling through what's already been submitted!

I narrowed my thumbnails down to 3 (incredibly messy) options, which I'm now deciding between. I would love to hear your thoughts as to which you prefer?

@baileymvidler I kind of envision a mashup of options B & C, with the characters moving through a compressed OZ, like this Hilda cover:

@carriecopadraws Oh! I really like that! That gives me some ideas. I will tinker with my thumbnails and post a revision tomorrow. Thanks so much!

Here's where I landed with my thumbnail edits:

I'm really excited to get started now because I feel like this is a lot stronger than my original thumbs. Thanks, @carriecopadraws, for sharing the Hilda cover. It helped so much!

@baileymvidler oooooh, I really like that idea! The characters travel to lots of different places in the book, so this cover represents those vignettes so well. And it feels whimsical. I'm excited about this direction!
