Want To Create Your Own Children’s Book?

02/15/2010 - 9:00 pm By Misty Belardo

When I was a little kid, I remember my dad would always tell us stories. He would always have a book with him. It didn’t even have to be bed time. He would usually round us up and just get his book and read to us. I enjoyed those moments and I am glad he did because it opened up a world of new experiences for me and my siblings. When he died, and my brother was still very young, I did the same for him as I felt that he should not have to miss out on what we experienced.

Ever since those days, I have cherished books, I have tried on some occasions to make my own. If you are like me and would like to create your own books, then Story Jumper is for you. The site allows one to create a book from scratch or follow the templates already available. The story for story jumper began when three dads decided that storytelling was fun and they wanted to open the world of creating a book for everyone that would be easy and fun! You can read the book here.

StoryJumper is a website that allows kids to build their own books. You can easily create cover pages, add text, upload drawings or photos to illustrate your story, and you can use the StoryJumper clipart gallery, too. When you are done, you can order your own professionally published hardback book. All you have to do is sign up and let your journey begin!

This is such a fantastic idea. To get children using their creative sides with something amazing to show for it at the end. And maybe something to look back at and giggle when they are older.

Thanks for sharing Misty, ill be sure to look out for these when I have children!

Laura.

Great tips to follow. Being professional and showing them there’s more to come I think are the most important. You need to give them a great article, that makes them want to come back. And then make sure you don’t disappoint.
