Children's Book Cover Maker
A children's book cover is chosen by adults and demanded by children, so it has to work twice. This style leans on hand-painted gouache texture, saturated primary color and soft rounded shapes, with characters whose faces read as kind from across a bookshop. The title arcs across an open sky area in chunky rounded hand-lettering rather than a typeset font, which is what keeps it feeling illustrated rather than assembled.
- Hand-painted gouache texture with visible paper grain, not flat vector art
- Characters drawn with warm, readable expressions for young readers
- Playful rounded hand-lettering that sits inside the illustration
Prompt
Output the flat front-cover artwork itself, not a photograph or mockup of a physical book. The rectangular cover artwork must fill the entire canvas edge to edge and be viewed perfectly straight-on with the camera perpendicular to it. Children's picture book cover, a small fox wearing a red knitted scarf sailing a folded paper boat across a puddle at dusk, warm friendly hand-painted gouache illustration, bright saturated primary colors, soft rounded shapes, expressive kind eyes, subtle paper texture, generous open sky at the top. The title "THE PUDDLE VOYAGE" arcs across the sky in chunky playful rounded hand-lettering, with "E. WILDER" in small friendly type below. Crisp, correctly spelled, perfectly legible lettering.

Is this suitable for a KDP picture book?
Yes. Generate the cover, then crop to the trim size and spine width your KDP page count requires.
Can I keep the same character across a series?
Describe the character the same way each time - "small fox in a red knitted scarf" - and you will get a close but not identical match. Exact character consistency is not guaranteed yet.
Can it write a longer title?
It can, but hand-lettering gets cramped past about five words. Shorter titles look markedly better.
