@fred—Well, we have set the feet bar pretty low here, given the usual cover efforts we encounter, but these look more like lumps of clay someone pressed a fork down on. Points for effort, but I might have preferred those Spanish Boots.
Also points to the artist for mastering “titillating translucency” at UAI.
It’s all that standing up due to never sleeping, I guess: makes her feet swell.
Doesn’t that falling meteoroid down and to the left of her look like Jack Skellington’s head? And what planet is it that has giant pistachio-colored clouds like that?

Well, obviously I expected a giant albino walnut. Nothing else would make any sense.

Walnut? It’s quite clearly a very mouldy and slightly radioactive cabbage.

She’s dead, Jim.

The artist can draw feet so we missed out on seeing some Boots of Spanish Leather.

This cover has
Me throwing fits
I clicked the link
And saw no devil’s dumplings.

The book’s about people who can’t sleep and are therefore more intelligent and productive. Yes, really. Maybe the artist tried that.
It doesn’t explain why she’s got bed-hair though.

This cover buggers the imagination

@Tor Mented – Admit it. You would have clicked through the glowing orb to see tits thinking it was the new space sheep.

@Tat W: ‘Bed-hair’ meaning enough hair to use as a bed?

She has the biggest hair and the tiniest head in the solar system

@Alice: Each of her feet are bigger than her head.

So now Space Sheep is bored enough with social distancing to show up on covers where he’s not needed? Pranking us? Well, these are difficult times.
Part of the book is set in space and there are several woman lead characters, but none of them float translucently at any time.

@Bruce: It does look like Jack!
Maybe the artist only had a bunch of green, had to use it on the clouds and the title.
