On April 1, 2022, Polish publisher Vesper revealed their planned cover art for their translation of Boy’s Life. The artwork was very different from covers normally associated with Boy’s Life, depicting a hand reaching for a green feather against a dark blue sky with clouds and a moon.

The response from Polish readers on Facebook was not positive. Many readers complained about the cover and said that the cover for the previous Polish release was much better.

The readers responded overwhelmingly in favor of the new cover art, and Vesper announced that the book would feature the new cover art when it is published in July 2022.
