I'm rewriting my children's book to improve it — and in this video you can copy everything I do, step by step, with no confusing tech jargon.
If you've already written a children's picture book — maybe you published it years ago, maybe it's still sitting in a drawer — and you know deep down it could be better, you are in the right place. My book "How to Build a Road" started life as an 11-page story. Today I use Canva Magic Write and the exact 7 prompts to rewrite it into a proper 28-page picture book for ages 3 to 5. You don't have to throw your book out and start again. You just need the right prompts, in the right order.
