![]() Have you ever wished you could make one link that works for all of your books on Amazon? It's as easy as creating a public wishlist! Go to your Amazon account and create a new list and give it a title that best describes how you will be sharing the link. For example, I labeled mine "Children's Books by Veronica Stanley-Hooper". You may want to choose something else like Classroom Books, Picture Books, etc. Now you add your books to the list. You can search for your books and click on the words "ADD TO LIST". Be aware that this link is very small. On your phone, it may appear just below your book's product listing as a blue hyperlink. Whereas, on your computer it may appear as a toggle in the right hand column of your book's product page. When you click the link/option toggle you will be given a list of your lists. Just choose the list you just created for your books! After you choose the list be sure to set it to VIEW ONLY by clicking on the INVITE button. When you do that, a pop-up will appear that allows you to copy the link. Now you have one handy link that shares all of your books at one time! #kidlit #amazon #childrensbooks #booktok #scaryhalloweencostumes #play #littlemousesfirstbookofcolors #children #library #librarian #teacher #school #parents #kidlitauthor #kidlitillustrator

AI uses the blood, sweat, and tears of illustrators and artists to mimic their style and create an image. AI doesn't need to ponder. AI doesn't feel. AI is just a new age art thief that sells off stolen goods for cheap. It's frustrating. But it is here for good. So what do artists like myself do now?
Throughout time, art has been honored and admired. I truly believe that AI is a fad and it's popularity will fade just like all new fads do. I will keep breathing life into my dreams and the dreams of other children's book authors through my illustrations. I will continue to encourage young readers and artists to write and draw through school visits and community fairs. Seeing the smiles and feeling the excitement that authentically created children's books evoke is enough for me. What do you think about AI?
