Beyond the Bansalan Skies: A Memoir Book Cover

Digital, Client Work, 2021

“Leila has always been a fighter, a stubborn little girl who never backs down. She started her journey in the town of Bansalan, living by the river at the foot of Mt. Apo.

Here, she started to dream.

Little did she know the adventures awaiting her from her first day of school, watching a horrifying flood, fighting for her country as an activist, to finally flying beyond the Bansalan Skies.

Leila tells her tale that will surely inspire everyone, whatever stage in life they may be.” — From 8letters Bookstore & Publishing

Beyond the Bansalan Skies: A Memoir is a book written by Leila Rispens-Noel and published by 8letters, an independent boutique bookstore that helps bring Filipino authors’ books to the world. 8letters and I worked hand-in-hand to create the book cover to portray the dreams and hopes of a little girl who lived in Bansalan in Mindanao.
