Posted in: Blog, Book Covers, Featured, Projects, Website Tips, covers by Editor on January 29, 2012 | No Comments

Butterfly Press partnered with Scribere Creative to create a book cover to illustrating the story of a Ugandan family history in the memoirs of Molly Tumusiine Abala. The designer used the symbolic imagery of the larger than life sunset with a train of elephants marching through the cover. The African earth tone colors brown, organge and yellow were incorporated into the design. The acacia tree and the muddy background on the back cover with blood red streaks suggest the ugliness of poverty that the Ugandan family overcome.

Book Description
Interesting, triumphant and at times unexpectedly heartbreaking, A Gem Picked From A Pocket of Dust is an engaging true story about a courageous little girl dreaming to become a nurse in the midst of a country village stricken with poverty and lack of public services.

Born and raised in rural Uganda, Molly Tumusiine Abala was the first daughter of illiterate parents. Tremendous odds of growing up in an impoverished village community and crippling traditions of marrying off young girls and gender predujices in education threatened to destroy her future before it began.
As a young girl, she watched whole sections of her community wiped out by diseases, now known to be preventable with access to clean water and knowledgeable health care.

In the midst of an impoverished village of proud Ugandans stuck between a resistant past and an impatient future, Tumusiine Abala soon began to emerge as an independent thinker.
