The use of a muted white and grey palette reinforces the themes of sadness, loneliness, and grief, creating a cohesive and emotionally resonant cover. The typography choices complement the visual theme by contrasting the title's bold, timeless serif style with a lighter sans-serif font for the author's name, ensuring that both elements are legible yet not overpowering. The central placement of the child and dock unifies the visual elements, allowing the viewer to naturally engage with the scene's emotive qualities. The soft matte paper stock enhances this visual narrative by providing a subtle tactile experience, subtly mirroring the reflective and somber tone of the book's content.
