Prompt: I Wrote a Children’s Book 🧸📖

What’s something you’ve done that your past self would be proud of?

My seven-year-old self would be thrilled that I took the lyrics to the first song she ever wrote and turned it into a children’s book. I have the story board, but I’m still working on a character I’m happy with.

Since it’s Shabbat, I’ll keep this short, but I’ll include some sample book covers made in AI. Anyone who wants to comment and tell me what to keep, change, or get rid of, is welcome to share. Readers are my current and future audience, so I’m interested in knowing your thoughts. 💬 💭

I think this little girl is my favorite of all the designs so far. I love the big eyes and how both she and the seagull seem impressed with each other.

When I asked for a cover, I got a different girl, and the AI assigned the “Song of Wings and Wonders” as a subtitle. I kept everything whether I will use it or not, so I can create a character with a little of all of them.

I like the girl on this 3D book cover as well, though I think she’s older than seven. And I wanted the beach to go across the entire cover under all the text for a smooth flow.

And here’s one with the beach across the cover, but the girl is gone. 🙃 This one has a butterfly logo for my publishing company, so I like that. Of course, AI has changed tremendously since I started working on these, so I could probably be more apt to get exactly what I want now.

And I’ll end with the dual cover of my first book and the companion book I’m writing for boys by request of my husband. As a matter of fact, Hubby even came up with the title. 🤩

So, I’ll close this for now. I know my younger self will truly be happy when I actually get them published.

Shabbat Shalom 🕊️
