Anyone know what this is on this book cover?

So this has the copyright info right on there, but I'm not sure if it's a sticker that was added to the cover at some point, or if it was manufactured this way? It's hard to the touch & affixed quite firmly to the book cover. Let me know if there's any other pics/info I should provide 😺 thanks for anyone who wants to share their thoughts!

AITA for encouraging my dad to attend cousin's funeral?

I (35F) am trying to encourage my dad (70M) to attend a funeral/COL for my maternal cousin who very very sadly passed away at age 27. My Dad has indicated that he wants to go and pay his respects, but my Mom (71F) won't be attending because she will be busy babysitting the 10YO son of a friend/fellow church member of theirs. My Mom was expecting that my Dad would stay to help her babysit 10YO & is considering it a "breach of trust" if he were to go to the funeral instead of staying to mind the 10YO with her, but I think he should be able to go to the ceremony & honor my cousin's memory.

The COL is taking place in a different US state, so does require a short flight. My parents are both retired and can very easily afford whatever travel expenses that would be involved, even if they both were to go instead of just 1 of them, and it is a trip they have taken many times before.

My Dad wants to attend but feels he can't as he would be letting my Mom down, & my Mom is resigned to doing her charitable childcare for the 10yo. AITA to strongly encourage my Dad to take a stand and make a 1-night trip to honor my cousin/his niece against my Mom's wishes?
