If you are a children’s book illustrator or an instructor teaching children’s book illustration, you are welcome to use this new dummy book template I created. 32-pages is the most common layout, as are separate endpapers as shown here. Using this layout plus a cover sample is recommended when submitting to agents and publishers as it demonstrates a good understanding of how books are printed and bound.
