An illustration featuring three panels. The first panel is of an angry blue bird looking under a rock and saying "Nothing." The second panel is the same bird looking in the grass with a magnifying glass and saying "Nothing!" The third panel is the largest and is a bird's eye view of a park and the same bird showing "NOTHING!!!" in large, red, shouty letters.

An illustration of an orange cat in an astronaut suit and floating in space. He is looking happily at three constellations of a fish, a mouse, and a ball of yarn.

An illustration of a boy and ghost looking fearfully at one another. The boy is reading a book called "Ghost Stories" and the ghost is reading a book called "Human Stories." The illustration uses a limited palette of blue, dark blue, and white.

A black and white pencil illustration of a young girl in an oversized, itchy sweater. She is growing increasingly agitated at the itchiness and trying but failing to take the sweater off.
