Circular paper decorations spread across a table, each painted with watercolour swirls in blues and yellows. There’s a black ink lined drawing of a violin and bow on each one. Pencil crayoned music lines with notes in blues, greens and pinks come out of each violin. One is strung with a yellow ribbon for hanging the rest are waiting to get their ribbons.
Front cover of the picture book Levi’s Gift with a young man playing the violin with his eyes closed. The music is pictured coming out of the violin and swirling around him, up into the air above his head. the music is described in swirls of yellow, pinks and blues with little notes moving along it. There are also white sparkly white swirls to help describe the music with a hint of magic. There is a small girl dancing in the top left corner holding a violin in her own swirl of matching music. The cover is on a blue watercolour background. The title Levi’s Gift is dark blue written in cursive placed centred above the young man playing the violin. Author/illustrator credit are either side of the young man’s legs. The illustration is in watercolour with soft pencil lines describing the details. There is a vanilla cupcake on a white dish with a lit candle and sprinkles in the icing placed on the surface the book is placed on.
Image of a young girl with curly red hair held back with a turquoise band and her great grandma, with soft grey hair in a bob cut wearing blue glasses on a chain. They are snuggled close together under a grape purple hand knit blanket looking at each other chatting. Their hands are pulling the edge of the blanket up close. The image is cropped tight to the characters with their heads at the top third and the blanket taking up the bottom two thirds. The title The Warmest Blanket in the World is hand lettered to look like ochre yarn which contrasts on top of the purple blanket. The background is a pale blue watercolour with darker blue soft pastel shading and a pale green leafy vine in a vertical pattern.
