()Parents today are looking for books that engage, educate, and delight their children. Some parents are finding it difficult to find the right topics for their children. There is a rising trend among parents to take matters into their own hands, and self-publish to fill in these gaps.

Kindle Direct PublishingAmazon’s KDP (self-publishing) option offers flexibility and ease for parents who want to create something that suits their children’s needs.

KDP success stories include Handeep Dhoot (“Who writes as “Dr. Dhoot“, a mother with a Ph.D. from Chemistry who wanted to introduce her daughter to STEM topics.

Dr. Dhoot has self-published the growing Tinker Toddler series of STEM books aimed at young children, including Machine Learning for Babies & Toddlers.

“Becoming a parent helped me realize the urgency for introducing scientific topics, like STEM, to kids while their brains are still developing. KDP allowed me to self-publish books that portray these ideas in an accurate and digestible way for kids, including my own daughter.”

Gabi GarciaAfter seeing the lack of books that could help bilingual and Spanish-speaking children understand their emotions, long-time school counselor, and mother, Lisa decided to self-publish.

“It’s so important to engage with children early to discuss mindfulness. Self-publishing on KDP empowered me to take all that I’d learned and seen as a school counselor and make it accessible to more children, in both English and Spanish.”

KDP has published several books about these topics, including Listening to My Body. It was published in English and Spanish. She writes now full-time about mindfulness and social awareness topics, both for educators and parents.

Brendan KelsoAs a child, he struggled with dyslexia. However, he found that learning and performing dramatic monologues helped him. Although he enjoyed Shakespeare, he found it difficult to understand the text.

After a career working in engineering, he was a stay at home dad. His idea was to create versions of Shakespeare’s plays more accessible for kids. His passion for theatre and writing inspired him to self-publish several works through KDP. He started with Shakespeare’s Hamlet, for Kids.

“I have the freedom to spend more time with my family, while pursuing my passion on my own terms with KDP.”

These parents were able to find the books that they needed for their children and have found financial success, sometimes even a new career.

This is for parents who want to self-publish but have questions.
