Developed in Bitsy HD by Fred Bednarski over two days as part of the Novels That Shaped Our World jam by Leeds Libraries. Novel chosen: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee from the "Politics, Power, and Protest" section of BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World list.

"Special Collections" bonus challenge: for the cover image of Gifts from Arthur, I created a pixsy version of "A Finite View of Infinity from Thomas Wright's 'An Original Theory or New Hypothesis of the Universe' (1750)" from the Leeds Libraries' Games Jam Collection album "Life, Death, and Other Worlds" to represent how Arthur watches the children from afar.

This game is available to all for free so that you may be encouraged to read the original text. Thank you to Ms. Lee, whose writings, privacy, and legacy have been disrespected by our contemporary profit-driven culture; I hope I have treated Maycomb with care.
