Picture book
In shortA picture book is a children's book where illustrations carry the story alongside the text, typically for ages 2-8 and meant to be read aloud.
Picture books pair a full-page illustration with a few lines of text per page - the format most personalized storybooks use, because the art is where the child sees themselves.
The sweet spot is a real story arc across the pages (a beginning, a wobble, a triumph) rather than a loose set of scenes.
