don't support AI support people

so many kids books on the market have the same AI built characters or digital art! It is so boring! I'm on a mission to get people supporting hand drawn illustrations again.

... Read moreIn a world increasingly dominated by AI-generated art, many parents and educators are expressing concern over the quality and creativity found in children's books. While digital art has its merits, hand-drawn illustrations offer a distinctive charm that fosters imagination and emotional connection in young readers. When children are exposed to unique artistic styles, it can inspire creativity and encourage them to appreciate diverse forms of expression. Traditional illustrations have the power to evoke feelings and narratives that often resonate more deeply than their AI counterparts. By supporting authors who prioritize hand-drawn art, you not only provide children with better reading material but also help sustain the livelihoods of talented illustrators. Exploring various children's book options can guide you to those that emphasize artistry over technology. Look for independent authors and smaller publishing houses that focus on traditional illustrations and storytelling. Organizations and communities are being formed to promote hand-drawn art, making it easier for readers and parents to find books that uphold these values. Embrace the opportunity to engage with stories that have a unique, human touch and foster a love for reading in the younger generation.
