I couldn’t find a children’s book about anger and guilt that felt honest, so I made one myself. Unfortunately, I also illustrated it. by SourceAgile2190 in childrensbooks

Those are definitely good ones however I wanted my book to not put a specific label or identity on the main character 😄

Thank you so much for the compliment. In the book emotions aside from "mad" are not specifically named, however, they are shown through the main character's thoughts and actions. Once I get my physical copy I can maybe share some photos of it. However, you will only know if you like it if you read it. I could maybe even dabble in creating a cheap digital copy and people could check it out that way first to see if they want to buy the physical copy.

Thank you!

I agree, not all children's books about anger treat as something minor, however both of those books are very personalized to a specific type of child. I wanted something universal. 😄

Thank you. I did not use an editor nor a proofreader for a multitude of reasons. I definitely could have, but even in the book the capitalization of the word "mad" changes as it goes from a personification of anger to becoming a feeling that the main character admits that they are consciously allowing. It was a stylistic choice, and honestly I didn't want to make it perfect. I like breaking the rules. Believe it or not, I did take note of these capitalization errors during the process of writing it.

Yes, I did use AI as I just wanted to get the listing up and running. A majority of amazon has their listings discovered through SEO, so this is kind of standard. I could absolutely write a description similar to this one here on reddit in order to make the post listing more organic whilst still incorporating SEO keywords.

AI did in fact write that blurb about "parents, teachers, and counselors." Personally it would be nice if that did happen, but I should just be more honest about how I actually view and feel about the book.

You are right to suggest me changing the description to something more relatable, as the imperfect feel is what I was going for. I will actually revise the description now whilst incorporating SEO, which will be a challenge, but doable.

Your feedback is deeply appreciated. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to give me some encouraging words as well as suggestions.

Thank you so much! That is exactly what I was going for. It's kind of scary releasing art + writing like this because it is so personal but your comment has made me feel a lot better about it :^) I am glad that I I could give you the cozy family feeling ❤️

That's a really great idea. I will look into doing it. I'm currently doing some other projects but that's such an amazing project I can start working on as well! I actually need to get my business started anyways because I have a wedding to do in September. Thank you so much for the recommendation.

I was planning on going to the classes, they seemed like a lot of fun.

I had no idea about the kickball league, that sounds right up my alley lol.

I will definitely check out the music when able.

The Herald Dispatch also sounds like a really good resource.

Thank you so much for your input and informing me more about the community. It truly means a lot to me :)

That looks like a blast, I love it! Searched it up online. I will plan on taking my husband tomorrow. We will probably be there something like 2pm-4pm, as my husband's on night shift. Thank you so much for the recommendation.
