Covering the Newbery (#8): The Trumpeter of Krakow

January 31, 2011 by Travis Jonker   3 comments

Every Monday (save for the Mondays where I don’t) I’ll try my hand at giving each and every Newbery Medal-winning book a new cover, beginning from the beginning. Today’s installment of Covering the Newbery bring the 20s to a close. Is it with a bang – or with a whimper? Let’s find out…

    I love it! I might go for a colored background instead of white though. Maybe the same color teal from the castle in the original cover?
