About the Program

My First Book Studio is a fun, hands-on experience where children turn their own ideas into a real book — with their own illustrations, their own title and their own name as the author.

Children begin by planning their story: choosing a character, a setting and what happens. They then bring the story to life with their own drawings, page by page. With guided support, the pages are assembled into a finished book, given a title, and signed by the young author.

The session closes with a celebration and sharing moment, so every child experiences the pride of reading their own published work aloud. Each child takes home a one-of-a-kind book they created from beginning to end.
