Illustration depicting an autumnal scene, showing a garden surrounded by other flats and houses. Growing in the middle of the garden is an apple tree which branches connect all neighbours who can be seen in all the little windows surrounding the tree. There is no fruit on the tree, only yellow leaves. 

Some of the characters that can be seen in the windows include a mum reading to her baby by a candle, a grandma and grandchild sharing a warm drink and a person calling their cat, which can be seen walking on the right wall of the garden. 

In the garden, a girl is carrying a giant orange pumpkin and an older woman on the left is passing some jam over to her neighbours above with the use of a basket and rope. 

A lively illustration showing the spirit of community and sharing.

In a dark nighttime hallway with huge arched windows, a girl and a werewolf (also a girl) are sneaking around. Both are wearing school uniforms, although the werewolf's has ripped a bit from her transformation. She has just knocked over a small table and broken a vase and the girl is shushing her. Through one of the large windows, we see more school buildings and a full moon.

The second panel is the same bird looking in the grass with a magnifying glass and saying "Nothing!" The third panel is the largest and is a bird's eye view of a park and the same bird showing "NOTHING!!!" in large, red, shouty letters.

A trans kid stands, holding one fist up while the other holds a sign mostly hidden by her leg. She's got a thicker body and is wearing red sheakers, trans flag socks, a white skirt, a big red sweater with a white stripe across the chest, and big glasses. She has fluffy brown hair and a cheerful, determined expression. Behind her lots of other people - many teens - are also marching and carrying signs that read "Support trans students" and "trans lives matter." The background is mostly purple.
