Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) allows you to publish and sell books exclusively on Amazon. However, its policies and options can influence your ability to sell on other platforms, depending on the choices you make. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

1. KDP Select Program
If you enroll your ebook in KDP Select, you must grant Amazon exclusivity for that title. This means:

You cannot sell the ebook version of your book on any other platform (e.g., Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble) for the duration of the enrollment (90-day periods, auto-renewable).
You can still sell the print version elsewhere.
The benefit of KDP Select is access to Kindle Unlimited and Kindle Owners’ Lending Library, plus promotional tools like free or discounted pricing for limited periods.

2. Not Enrolling in KDP Select

If you choose not to enroll in KDP Select:

You can sell your ebook on other platforms while still selling it on Amazon.
You are free to use distribution services like Smashwords, Draft2Digital, or IngramSpark to reach other retailers.

3. Print Books
Amazon has no exclusivity requirement for print books. If you use KDP for print-on-demand (POD), you can also sell your book through other platforms. However, if you use a POD service like IngramSpark in addition to KDP, be cautious about overlapping distribution channels, as this can lead to conflicts like duplicated listings.

Autumn and Halloween children's books are all about pumpkin spice... and a little spook! 🎃👻 To capture those little readers, make sure you’ve got plenty of crunchy leaves, mysterious forests, and just the right amount of cute-not-creepy. 🍂 Bonus points for talking animals in cozy sweaters! 🧡 Keep it fun, magical, and maybe throw in a candy corn or two for good measure. 🍬

A mother’s love is like sunshine in a story—it warms every page. 🌸 Showing a mother’s support in children's books reminds little ones how deeply they are loved and cared for. But just as important is seeing a mom who loves herself, showing her daughter that self-love is powerful and beautiful. 💕 Together, they shine brighter! 🌟

Children’s stories are more than words on a page—they reflect who we are and who we can become. 🌟 When we show positive, kind actions in children's books, we’re planting seeds of compassion, empathy, and love in young hearts. Let’s create the power of kindness in every story! 📚💛

Full design for your children’s books

I want to share with you the covers of some books that I designed this year and last year. I absolutely LOVE creating illustrations, but working on covers is even more fun.🌟🌟🌟
Sometimes an idea pops into your head immediately after reading a book manuscript. It’s like a flash and I can’t imagine what other options there might be.🎆
Sometimes I think about the cover while working on a book, make small sketches, combine them, and look for options. I discuss my ideas with the author of the book and together we choose the most successful design.🕵️‍♀️👩‍🎨
And sometimes I can’t think of anything at all and then I go look at children’s books on the store shelves or on Pinterest. This inspires me and I immediately sit down to draw the cover. 🎯

I am always glad to make new friends, colleagues and like-minded people who love children's books with all their hearts just like me.

Now I’m watching the series The Bear. This is not a basketball series, but it is set in Chicago. For me, Chicago is all about the bulls. 🏀 So we find ourselves at this point. Inspiration often comes through mysterious pathways of associations in our heads and I think that’s great.⛹🏾‍♀️

This is a kind and sweet story for children about God's unconditional love for all his children. 🌈
