How a baby & toddler book is laid out

One concept per page. One object or character, large and centered, on a simple background. 0 to 15 words in 28 to 36 pt type. High contrast, no clutter.

The default voice is playful & silly: giggles, sound effects, absurd situations. You can change the audience, tone and length in the Story step.

Publishing tips

Before you publish

  • KDP doesn't print real board books with thick card pages. This type is sold as a square premium-color paperback plus a fixed-layout Kindle eBook, and the listing should say so.
  • A hardcover isn't possible here: KDP hardcovers need at least 75 pages and there is no square hardcover trim.
