Sarah Carlson asked Lisa Moore Ramée:

I LOVE the cover of A GOOD KIND OF TROUBLE! Can you talk a little bit about the symbolism you incorporated?

Lisa Moore Ramée Oh my gosh, don't you just LOVE it?! I do!! I can take credit for none of it except for all the squealing when I saw it. Oh wait, I did suggest the running shoe patch. Shayla is a girl caught up in such typical things: friendship, early crushes, ice cream :) and the we wanted that reflected, but she also is struggling to learn to jump the hurdles for track and is becoming aware of race mattering in a way she wasn't prepared for. So hopefully the patches bring together the idea of the simple and difficult problems kids can face and how all of it matters.
