The Help — Cover

This is the original cover of the book The Help. It was run in the UK like this but changed to the birds when run in the US. This is a perfect examole of the issue this book is trying to tackle, the sensitivity surrounding this issue. A cover with simply a black person on it makes it not allowed to run the book. They had to change to the birds which were a more peaceful image rather than the striking, intriguing cover before. I think this cover is more accurate to the book’s representation as it is supposed to strike the audiunce and show something like black helps to raise a white child.
