Brave Little Bear

by Bernadette Black

About the book:

This honest and compelling story takes you on a journey with Bernadette Black through her struggle to find hope and inspiration after falling pregnant at the age of 16: a true story.

About the design:

The cover design balances maternal strength with vulnerability, supported by the soft use of colour against the black-and-white photography. Bernadette’s message of hope is carried by the graphic device of an elegant ‘living’ vine, used throughout book. The uncommon square form of the book gives added shelf-presence. View the Design
