Cover of a children's book, white and green background colours. Foreground shows an illustrated child with long dark braids wearing a grey hoodie, black and white dotted leggings, with wings on her back. In the background is a tall, wobbly, tumbledown building. Title Ellora McGee, Trainee Banshee: The New School appears above her head. Author's name Sinรฉad O'Hart appears beneath her feet, and beneath that again is the illustrator's name, รna Woods.
Delighted to share the cover of my new book, Ellora McGee, Trainee Banshee: The New School! Art by @unawoods.bsky.social, pub Gill Books, Sept 4th. Ellora's just started at a new school, and it's hard to keep her budding banshee powers secret. But what if they're about to save the day? ๐๐ฎ๐ช๐ซ
