This cover-to-cover redesign of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo draws inspiration from the protagonist’s connection to the stars. The cover features a blue-toned landscape beneath a star-filled sky, paired with a mixed-type wordmark that presents Edward’s name as if it were “written in the stars.” The interior design balances readability and expression, using a classic serif typeface for the body text and a more fluid typeface for chapter titles, echoing the constellation motifs found throughout the illustrations. Together, these elements create a cohesive and comfortable reading experience that reflects the story’s antique, time-worn atmosphere.
Illustrations appear throughout the book to mark key moments in Edward’s journey, reinforcing the narrative’s exploration of love, loss, and the contrast between the darkest darks and brightest whites, mirroring the symbolism of the stars themselves.
