Split image featuring the cover of the children's book Dawn Patrol on the left and a portrait of Rob Sayegh Jr. on the right. The book cover shows a child surfing a wave on a green surfboard, with a man on a red surfboard in the background, and the title “Dawn Patrol” in bold blue letters above. The right side shows Rob Sayegh Jr. smiling in front of a brick wall, wearing glasses and a denim shirt.
