2020 Excellence in Nonfiction

The book cover of "Free Lunch" by Rex Ogle shows a block outline of a child holding a book in their right hand while walking. The title of the book is formed by a thick, curling red line beginning at their mouth, going down their throat, forming the word "Free" branching out from the letter "r" to form a stomach and then branching from the stomach to create the word "Lunch" in the lower abdomen and upper thighs of the outline.

About
