A Little Sneak Peek… My First Children’s Book 🐴
I wanted to share something a little different that I’ve been working on. I’m currently putting together my very first children’s book, and this one is extra special to me because it was inspired by my son. A few weeks ago at bedtime I randomly made up a story on the fly about “Billy the Horse.” It was one of those completely improvised parent moments where you just start talking and hope it turns into a story 😄 A few nights later my son asked me… "Billy the Horse story?" And then he kept asking for it. That’s when I realized… this might actually be a real book. So now Billy the Horse is officially becoming a children’s book. Yes, I used AI to help bring the story and illustrations together. Yes, it’s not perfect. But this one is coming straight from the heart 💖 for my four-year-old. It’s been a really fun creative process and also a great reminder that sometimes the best book ideas come from real life moments. I’m still putting the final touches on it, but I wanted to give you all a first look preview before it becomes official 👀 Attaching the cover concept ... what do you think?

I love this!! Being inspired by our kids is the best thing! I make so much of what I put into the world for them.
Community Name / Feedback Requested
I originally named this group (KDP publishing) which is how you self publish on Amazon, but it has been brought to my attention that not everyone knows what "KDP" means and it can create some friction for targeting the audience I want to target right now. What do you think if I switched the group name to something simple like "Book Publishing" this way it is clear and everyone understands immediately what the group is about, and can help people who are brand new to self publishing get started. Of course I wanted your feedback before I make any immediate changes. 🥰

@Krista Brea that makes sense. I would include self in the title of the group to avoid confusion, but agreed that kdp is also confusing to people who don’t already know.

@Krista Brea yes! It would be awesome to learn about both methods!
Learning From a 4 Year Old
Watching my son learn how to read 📘 has been one of the most humbling things. He’s four, sounding out letters, piecing together words, celebrating the smallest wins. Reading is something we expect kids to learn. It’s built into the system. Publishing isn’t. Most adults were never taught how to publish a book. Some were never encouraged to write at all. Many second-guess themselves before they even get one sentence on the page. And that’s not a flaw — it’s a gap in education. The difference between people who publish and people who don’t isn’t talent. It’s a choice. A choice to learn. A choice to invest in yourself. A choice to keep improving instead of staying stuck. Just like reading, publishing is a skill. And skills can be learned at any age — if you’re willing to take action. 👉 If you’ve been sitting on a book idea and you’re ready to make this the year it actually happens, comment “BOOK” below and let’s take the first step together.

Yes!!! Watching my toddler start to put words together and recognize letters was absolutely what motivated me to finish the children’s book I’ve been thinking about for years. And it was absolutely a lack of knowing how that prevented me from finishing. The writing, I understood, the art I understood, everything after that, the formatting the uploading where to go the process, that was all overwhelming until I sucked it up and tried it.
Are You Taking Advantage of A+ Content?
One underused marketing opportunity I don’t see enough self-published authors taking advantage of is Amazon A+ Content. If you’re already publishing on KDP, this is something you can set up yourself—no ads, no extra fees, no fancy tools required. It lets you add visuals, comparisons, and expanded sections to your book’s product page, which helps readers understand the value of your book before they buy. Most authors stop at the cover and description, but A+ content gives you more real estate to tell your story, highlight who the book is for, and answer objections without being salesy. If I did a future training breaking down what to include, how to design it simply, and common mistakes to avoid, would you want that? Let me know in the comments below!
