The Stillness Between the Waves

Book Cover Design

Authored by Dr. Yasmine Motawy, this book is a deep dive into the landscape of Egyptian children’s literature and its reflections on contemporary Egyptian society. Inspired by T.S. Eliot’s poem ‘Little Gidding’, the title captures the essence of exploration and discovery:

‘Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.’

The cover design embodies this theme, symbolising the book’s presence within that stillness and unveiling what you may not have known you needed to see.
