A softly blurred, double-exposed photo of a man lying down with closed eyes and glasses, overlaid with a translucent white veil of light and shadow. Centered text reads: “Sometimes hope looks like anger. Sometimes it looks like tears. Sometimes it is a wounded wolf, licking their wounds, holding the eyes of a stranger.” Below the quote: Unfolding Hope and Jonathan Michael Saucedo are written in smaller text.

A cozy classroom scene viewed from the teacher’s desk. A lit lamp, an open laptop displaying a bright orange presentation slide, a coffee mug with colorful dogs, a binder with monster illustrations, hand sanitizer, and some papers are on the desk.
