Have you ever wondered what it might be like to dive into the pages of your favorite novel and see the world come alive around you? Do you have stories swirling around in your head that are just waiting to be told? Or perhaps a painting just waiting to come to life? 

Creating and writing children’s books allows us to breathe life into these creative urges. The imagination of children is an infinite resource and after all, aren’t we just kids that got a little older? Tapping into this creativity can open many doors and opportunities. Both in the minds of our children and in the world of business. 

Writing or illustrating a children's book gives us work that is meaningful - who knows what positive ripple effects just one book could have. We are able to profit off of our own creativity, our love for our children, our vision for a better future and hopefully, spread some joy in the process.

Publishers see this creative connection as an opportunity - not only to bring a bit more joy and color to the world - but also as a business. The creative and inquisitive drive of children is ravenous! There is a constant market for new stories that look at the world in unique and mysterious ways - ways that often inspire and ignite a spark for these kids. And not to mention, a check for the publishers!

Children’s books are constantly moving off the shelves, from the classics to the newest bestsellers. Books are one of the first ways that our children learn about the outside world. They learn everything from kindness and equality to science and math. Educational books can teach concepts large and small, helping kids to understand and build curiosity about the world that they live in. A children’s book could teach a child about grief, or friendship, or even about the diversity of the human body. There are no bounds on how and what a book can teach, and no limits on the inspiration a child may gain. 

If you have a story that you want to tell, a lesson that you want to teach or a world that you want to create - children’s literature might just be the right place for you!
