Children’s Book Experiment Kindle Color

Earlier discussions here got me thinking about children’s books in colour, especially with Kindle clearly moving toward colour e-readers.

I had about two hours free this afternoon and wanted a break from my usual books and longer projects, so I decided to experiment and just make something. I reduced the scope, leaned into illustration-first storytelling, and uploaded a short children’s book to Kindle. It’s now sitting there waiting to go live.

Honestly, it’s a bit scary how fast this came together with AI. I know AI is a touchy subject and a lot of people are strongly against it — and I get that. But for those who are already very creative, this feels less like replacement and more like acceleration.

This is the level of work people will be producing soon if they’re embracing AI properly. I really encourage anyone who hasn’t yet to at least learn prompting — not to replace your voice, but to enhance it and open up new formats you might not otherwise explore.

Curious where everyone here is landing on AI right now.

Oh and my spin on the little golden books is I’ve called my series little outback book. It’ll be interesting to see how this goes.
