A cream-colored dog with coral-pink ears and cheeks sits against a forest green background, gazing directly outward with large, round black eyes and an endearing expression. The pup holds an open red book in its white paws, captured in a bold, graphic illustration style with soft shapes and a gentle, storybook quality. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
