i'm miss muffins, and i will show you how to create a picture book!

first things first, let me help you with your first idea!

picture books are: 32 pages, for kids 2-8 years old, life lessons for children

ideas are everywhere! read lots to see examples

borrow, buy kid books, even virtually. volume is key!

Bonus: read with a kid. which parts do they like?

while researching, note trends. examples: STEM, diversity, biography

after fun research and fun trends, it's time for your idea! what is new? is it on trend? yay, you have your idea!

next up includes how to write and draw, how to find picture book friends

Even later: after learning to create, learn publishing... write and draw like mr. mousespeare
