Beta Readers Wanted - Children's Picture Book [FOUND]

I'm looking for a small handful of families to beta read my debut children's picture book before it heads to my developmental editor.


What I need: Parents, caregivers, or teachers with a child aged 4–8 who can read the story aloud with their child and share observations within 17 days by June 20th.

What you'll receive: A PDF proof copy, a simple parent observation guide, and a short feedback form — all ready to go. It's a low-lift ask; you're just paying gentle attention during the read and jotting down what you notice.

Note: The proof copy carries a pen name. Please keep it confidential and don't share it further.

What I'm hoping to learn:

  • Did the child stay engaged?

  • Were there moments they lingered on or rushed past?

  • Any words or concepts that didn't land?

  • Would you buy it?

If you're interested, please send me a PM with your child's age and gender and I'll get the materials over to you right away.

Thank you — this kind of help is everything at this stage. 🐋
