Definitely the one on the left. It highlights a worldview and kids being involved in the story. I think the sunglasses in the second one imply romance.
ReplyDeleteI really think that the one on the left gives a better visual idea of your story . It''s meaningful . The other could be about romance. Your book sounds great!
