Talking Turkeys

  • Barbara Grajek

Design a book jacket for the Penguin Student Children’s Cover Award – Talking Turkeys by Benjamin Zephaniah. Talking Turkeys is an unconventional, clever, and provocative collection of straight-talking poems about heroes, revolutions, veganism, racism, love, and animal rights, among other subjects, that will entice new readers to poetry. Hence, my book cover design reflects the vegan choice Benjamin Zephaniah made at the age of 13. Inspired by the works of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, I created the book cover using real vegetables along with fruits made in the Blender software.
