Pressbooks for a children's book?

Using Pressbooks Custom CSS, Styling, Themes

We have an unusual use case from our College of Nursing. They created a 32-page 8.5"x8.5" children’s book using Adobe tools and have been self-publishing it for storytimes and outreach to K-6 audiences to encourage kids to consider nursing careers. The authors have asked about migrating the book to Pressbooks (so anyone could download the book and print it on their own). I don’t think Pressbooks is a good match for children’s book formats (no chapters, very large images, unusual page size).

I’m curious if anyone has tried using Pressbooks this way?

Hi @CherylCasey it can be done, but isn’t very common. You might want to talk with Michelle Reed at Library Futures. I think they did this with a couple of zines in the past. I’m thinking of https://pubs.libraryfutures.net/controlledchaos/. Maybe @olray also tried before? I don’t remember clearly.

Thanks for that example!
