Thank you guys for responding. I worry about them because they are
on construction paper and are about 5 pages, and I am not that
creative, there is no rhyming.

I make the books with images I find from Goggle; I try and use real
pictures, but sometimes I use clip art. I just tell a simple
story. I can email you my story about Madam C.J. Walker if you want
to see it. Just let me know.
