the fifth child book covers

No one can judge art or say that one piece of art is better or worse than another. However you can judge appropriateness and relatedness to certain reading materials. In doing so i have come to the conclusion that the most appropriate picture to be the cover of this book is the black and white photograph of a young boy looking outside with his palm on the window. I believe that this is the best book cover because of the color composition, the fact that it is a photograph and the subject of the photograph. I think it was necessary to be black in white because this book seems to be devoid of color. There is only black, white, and things in between. The fact that it is a photograph is important because it is a cold and harsh reality that can not be messed up by subjective lines. And the very subject itself is so amazing. A child without a smile or humanizing features stares at you coldly as he wants nothing to do with you but still reached his hand to the window.
