Who it's for

Your children’s book needs pictures and words to share the page comfortably. BrainON brings experience with illustrated stories and learning books to picture books, early readers, activity books and educational titles.

A child should be following the story or trying the activity, not searching for where the next sentence has escaped to. We shape each spread around the illustrations, reading order and space the text needs, with attention to the book’s age group and purpose.

What's included

Children’s book layout combines typography, illustrations, page sequence and production preparation. We wrap text around artwork where it helps the composition and prepare images in Photoshop, including retouching when needed. You review the designed pages before we prepare the print-ready PDF for KDP, IngramSpark or your chosen printer.

Explore Nanny’s Enchanted Tales, Santa’s Superpower and The Amazing World of the Wild in our portfolio to see different relationships between illustration and text. Your book can take its own approach rather than borrow a layout that suited another story.

For an electronic edition, we recommend a reflowable EPUB because it adapts to different screens and devices. A fixed-layout ebook is also available at your request when preserving the page design matters more than adapting the layout.

How it works

  1. Share the story and artwork. Send the manuscript, original illustrations and any notes about how the pictures connect to the words or activities.
  2. Plan the spreads. We develop the reading order, typography and text placement around your content, then prepare the artwork for the layout.
  3. Review the pages. Check the wording, sequence and relationship between pictures and text. Send corrections together so the whole book stays in view.
  4. Prepare the edition. We produce the print-ready files for your publishing destination and the ebook formats you need.

FAQ

Can the text wrap around my illustrations?

Yes. We can wrap text around illustrations and prepare the images in Photoshop, including retouching where it is needed.

Can you prepare children’s books for KDP and IngramSpark?

Yes. Tell us your intended platform and format before layout begins so the page design and production requirements work together.

Can I have a fixed-layout ebook?

Yes, at your request. We recommend reflowable EPUB for its adaptable reading experience; fixed layout preserves the page composition but does not adapt to the screen.
