On the left is the cover of ‘Los Monstruos: Felice and the Wailing Woman’ by Diana López, featuring three animated children standing in a colorful town street with a large shadowy figure looming above the buildings. On the right is the cover of ‘The Jumbies’ by Tracey Baptiste, showing an eerie forest scene with glowing yellow eyes in the dark background and three children standing among trees with mist swirling around them.”
