At the bottom, a girl with medium skin tone and black braids stands amid a pile of dirt and stones with her back to the reader and her hands on her hips. A goat looks up at her.

Cover: Loop de Loop: Circular Solutions for a Waste-Free World. Andrea Curtis and Roozeboos. A big yellow sunflower on a green background fills the center of the page. People and objects circle the sunflower. There are people carrying signs showing leaves and the planet, someone picking tomatoes from a plant, a cyclist, people picking up trash and one person holding a test tube. The objects in the circle include a robotic arm attaching a part to a video game controller, a sewing machine and a microscope.
