For the Greatest Good

Weston Wei illustrates the cover for a YA novel exploring activism and the clean drinking water crisis.

Written by Blair Hanson and published by Page Street, the novel follows two rural teenagers determined to protect their town's access to clean drinking water. Tackling both environmental issues and the realities of grassroots activism, the story explores what it means to fight for change when the path forward is far from straightforward.

Weston's tactile approach, with its confident composition, expressive linework and symbolic details, creates a cover that reflects the story's themes of conviction and hope.
