Elements of Dominguez’s painting are featured on the cover and throughout the work. Dominuez writes: “The most beautiful bike in the world. Stolen from Palmer Park. A bike without equal. Still mourned 45 years later. Hard to communicate today how priceless it was to experience the absolute freedom of a bicycle back in the 1970’s.”

Also pictured on the front cover is another symbol for a Detroit childhood. Monarch butterflies symbolize both the fragility and resilience of children. Aztec mythology says that butterflies are the souls of the returned departed.
