Congrats - that's a beautiful idea, love the setup.
I wish the light was a little more "vivid" - looks a bit flat to me, but that is a minor nitpick.

"The book thief" right behind her head - a book which I loved reading and above all, at the bottom right corner: "Geek Dad" - maybe a hint too ??? ;-)
