One of the characters in The Wind in the Willows is Toad, he is quite a significant character in the book.
The main character in the book is a mole called Mole, it would make sense to have him on the front cover.
A lot of the book covers that I looked at on Pinterest had just an oblique image on the cover, as I was reading the book I noticed that one of the illustrations had a dragonfly. I thought it would be a good drawing to have on the cover because of it being being oblique it adds interest as it's not as obvious. Also, it has relevance to two elements of the theme: water and air. Dragonfly larvae spend most of their life in water, and then when they develop into dragonflys and spend the rest of their lives in the air.
The last thing that I drew was a williow because of the title of the book (Wind in the Willows) this drawing has relevance to the title. However, there isn't much mention in the book about willows.
