Client: Restless Books

A Down Home Meal for These Difficult Times by Meron Hadero offers narratives about those whose lives have been marked by border crossings and the risk of displacement.

The author wanted to include an illustration of an Ethiopian food basket on the cover. The placement on the front and back resembles opening a basket and taking part in a meal—a symbolic, layered gesture referring back to the title.
