Book Cover

Our assignment was to remake a book cover of a book that has been published. I love this book, but I've always been bothered by the fact that the cover isn't a real photo. Since I didn't know anyone who looked quite like this girl, I decided to take a different approach and take it of just a hand holding a packet of carrot seeds. I thought it would be perfect because it fits with the excerpt on the back of the book. I love the golden, dream-like background. I'm sure most of you have never read the book so it's difficult to know whether it works or not, but what do you think?

Thanks to everyone who helped me think of ideas, and thanks to Heather for being my hand model!
