- A moth A Ghastly Catastrophe (Veronica Speedwell, #10) by Deanna Raybourn (she studies butterflies & moths)
- A hand holding some fanned out playing cards The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife by Anna Johnston (life dealt him a bad hand, but he played a chance & won)
- A hot air balloon The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History, from the Founding to the Civil Rights Movement by Sharon McMahon (each person rises above adversity)
