Add a cover page and a last page to pdf book

[vikalpjain]

I have created a PDF book using bookdown and latex. Everything works well and I'm able to generate PDF out of it. Now, I would like to add a nice cover page and a last page to this PDF. I have designed the cover page in Canva and can download it as either a PNG or PDF. How should I do it?

Unfortunately, there's not a super simple answer to this.
