3 Books you might write once a) These pictures are on the cover of some books. Create an attractive title for the book. Think what genre that can reflect. Example: I think that the title for cover 1 would be “The World Around Us.” It’s a good title, because it captures the overall idea of the author: be more attentive to the environment around us.
b) Think of a plot for your future book. What pictures would you have on the cover? What title would you come up with?
