![[left] An illustration of a child facing the right with neck-length, matted brown hair, standing in front of a faded yellow sun that encircles the profile of the child's face. The child is wearing a burgundy tank top which is partially covered by tall red grass that also covers the bottom of the illustration all the way up to the child's chest. The child's face is hidden behind the mask of another face resembling an adult Hari Ziyad with facial hair and their eyes closed, and there is an outgrowth of dandelions between the two faces. There is an orange butterfly flying to the left of the child's hair and a yellow butterfly flying in front of the hair, and everything is drawn over a pink background. In small cursive white letters above the sun are the words "a memoir," and in white block letters over the child's face are the words "BLACK BOY OUT OF TIME." At the bottom over the red grass are smaller white block letters reading, "HARI ZIYAD." [right] Hari Ziyad, a Black person with a bald head and short facial hair, stands in front of a dark grey background looking into the camera with a slight smile. They are shown from the shoulders up wearing a black knitted sweater, with a black circular earring in their left ear.
