Self-Published Kid's Book Spotlight
FEATURING INDEPENDENT KIDS BOOKS SHARED ON X
The world of children’s books is constantly expanding, with new independent authors and illustrators bringing fresh stories, ideas, and creativity to young readers. Many of these books don’t come from traditional publishing houses, but instead are shared directly by creators and readers across platforms like X (Twitter), where communities gather to discover and support new work.
This spotlight series is dedicated to highlighting children’s books shared by independent creators on X. The goal is simple: to give visibility to stories that deserve to be seen, and to help readers, parents, and educators discover new books they may not come across in traditional bookstores.
If you are an author or illustrator with a children's book you'd like featured, we'd love to hear from you. Submit your book for consideration by emailing pandapages@outlook.com or messaging us on X @thoughtwatching. Selected books will be featured in upcoming posts in this series.
More featured books will be added below as they are submitted.
1. BOJO THE CROW
AUTHOR: Joe Ming
Ages (5 - 8)
Bojo the Crow follows a curious little crow whose big appetite quickly turns into something much larger, greed. As Bojo begins to want more than he needs, he starts to lose sight of what really matters, even drifting away from the simple joy of friendship.
Through his journey with a group of bird friends, Bojo slowly learns that happiness is not found in taking more, but in sharing, caring, and celebrating the success and joy of others. It's a warm and thoughtful story about the lessons greed can teach, and the lasting value of kindness and connection.

As children explore the animal kingdom, they build early reading confidence, expand their vocabulary, and discover fascinating animals from around the world. It's a heartwarming picture book that encourages curiosity, a love of wildlife, and the joy of reading, making it a wonderful choice for toddlers, preschoolers, and beginning readers.
