Write a Kid's Picture Book: Create Heartfelt Children's Books

Kids and books-they just go together. If you've dreamed of writing kid's books and seeing children delight in your stories, this comprehensive guide shows you exactly how to succeed in publishing books for kids.

Creating picture books may seem deceptively simple, but publishing a kid's book requires specific skills. You must craft a complete story in under 1,000 words (preferably under 350), develop characters that grow and change, keep readers emotionally invested, and give illustrators amazing possibilities for artwork. It's a delicate balance that separates amateur attempts from successful book publishing kid's content.

What we want is a story that touches a kid's heart. Fun. Heartwarming. A legacy that lives through a child's imagination. Learn how to bring your dreams to reality.
