Hobonichi - Cover Cousin A5 | Virginia Lee Burton: The Little House

The “Little House” cover for the Hobonichi Techo Cousin A5 is a special collaboration inspired by Virginia Lee Burton’s timeless children’s book. It brings to life the charming pink house with a red chimney, nestled among apple trees, quietly observing the changing world around it — from the passing seasons to the rise of cities and the rush of modern life.

The front design reproduces the original book cover in vivid detail, with a bright blue sky and hand-drawn lettering that adds a gentle, heartfelt touch. The cover is made from fine-grained polyester with a soft, durable feel. Inside, a mint green lining features a pocket illustrated with a lush summer scene. The butterfly-stopper pen holders are crafted from white faux leather, and the two bookmarks are light blue ribbons — simple, elegant, and without end charms.

The spine mimics the original book spine, complete with hand-drawn daisies on a white background and red wavy lines running along the edges. On the back, a cheerful sun — taken from the original back cover — radiates warmth in a design that resembles both sunlight and a daisy blossom.

There’s even a hidden illustration inside the pocket, taken from the book’s endpaper — a small surprise for those who appreciate storytelling in every detail.

This cover beautifully reflects the story’s themes of time, change, and the be
