Need some opinions and confidence ❤️

Need some opinions from other people and a bit of a confidence boost. I am a stay at home mum and my little one starts nursery soon. On the days he goes to nursery I ideally need to start working to start earning some more money however I have no idea what career I want to do as all I wanted to do in life is be a mum. During this period of time at home with my little one, I have started creating children’s books as I love to draw. I used it as a way to relax in the evenings and keep my mind busy and I love how they have turned out. My husband has suggested that instead of going back to work I try and become a self employed artist and illustrate books for people. As i have already put my books on Amazon. I love this ideas but just don’t have the confidence to do it as don’t think my style of design is that good. Just wanted to know other opinions on what you think of the books I have done? Also are there any mums that started their own business full time when little ones went to nursery and how did they go. ❤️

These are stunning! If you hadn't said you'd done them yourself I'd think they were fully professional!

@Hannah thank you so much that means a lot ❤️

They are beautiful, I definitely would have brought these if I didn't have 100s of books already 😅. There's no harm in trying what your husband said, I think you would smash it xx

These are amazing!!👏 Deffo worth giving it a try!

These are brilliant 👍👌😉 i would buy them for my little one.

Hi mama! First I want to say that it is absolutely so brave of you to share some of your beautiful work with us! I am a business owner myself, I did it while being a single SAHM, and I have absolutely no regrets! I’d say go for it, your work is already so professional that I am positive your business will flourish! 🩷🩷

@sweetest aww that is so amazing, they are available on Amazon if you did want to have a look ❤️

@Cheyenne thank you so much that means so much to me ❤️

@Jennifer thank you so much that means a lot ❤️

I love the concept and artwork. I appreciate you've put the word as well as the numeral for the numbers book and the questions to help those who may not think of questioning and just read the text. Only bit of (hopefully) constructive criticism is I'd definitely buy it in board book format rather than paperback (my baby eats books 😂) and I prefer the font in the numbers one to the alphabet. Also it bugs me when things have 'G for giraffe' or 'U for unicorn' because of the phonics aspect (I'd go A is for a-a-anteater for example and you can't do that for giraffe as it's not a /g/ sound like g-g-gorilla) but I can't see those pages so can't comment haha 😁

I think that you only fail when you don’t try or give up and that we are our own worst critics. The books look amazing and it only takes one yes. I say try. Don’t give up. Besides as parents sometimes we have to go outside of our comfort zone unwillingly. So I’d step out of it on my own before the kids force my hand lol.

@katie I purchased both books. Thank you, I'm going to enjoy using the books to teach my little one.

@sweetest aww thank you so much that means so much to me. If you know anyone else that would like then please send them the link ❤️

You're welcome, I will do xx

These are amazing ! I'd buy them you definitely should start this

@Samina thank you so much ☺️ they are on Amazon if you are interested ❤️

I bought the animals of the alphabet book about 3 months ago now. Maybe longer. But I recall seeing your first post about it and got it immediately. We absolutely love it. My son is animal obsessed and we read it multiple times a day. I will be buying the numbers book for his birthday too!

@Daniella aww thank you so much hun that means a lot ❤️ let me know what he thinks of the new book ❤️

Defo give the books a go maybe go back to work part time and see if it takes off ?

These are great! I’d get them if they were board books.

Love these!
