You don't say what system you have, but there are a number of utilities 
to view metadata.  You already have one of them:

AtomicParsley file.m4a -t

If there is a thumbnail embedded, the output will contain this line:

Atom "covr" contains: 1 piece of artwork

Another example is MediaInfo.  With the CLI version:

mediainfo --Output="General;%Cover%" file.m4a

will return "Yes" if a thumbnail is embedded, an empty string otherwise.

Thumbnails are included by default.  Make sure you haven't set the 
"thumb" option to 0 or the "noartwork" option to 1.
