Not A Fat Annie! Book Cover project
Project detail
I am looking for someone to design a book cover for my Middle Grade Fiction Book (8-12)
Here is a synopsis of the book
Aly Rose just started 5th grade. She is stuck in a class full of ‘popular kids’ and is NOT fitting in. When her class decides to put on her favorite musical ANNIE, she is dying to try out. There is just one problem. No one will ever want to see a fat Annie. As the biggest girl, or in the words of her classmate’s the ‘fattest’ kid in the class, she has been continuously teased and made fun of by the ‘cool’ girls, so there is NO WAY she will be trying out.
Yet, her best friend, has a completely different idea about it. She knows that Aly would be amazing as the lead and is on a mission to get her to try out, but she has her work cut out for her.
This book tackles body image stereotypes and biases, while challenging the norms of society. The young heroine Aly Rose takes on her the inner critic (that is vocal in all of us) and learns how to counter it. This results in a much in a bigger and more compassionate understanding of others.
This type of book is needed in for this generation, due to the 46% of all girls worry daily about their body image, often turning to dieting, that has lead to the 112% increase in admitted eating disorder cases in 12-18 year olds, and increased anxiety and depression levels.
