Are there local bookstores, authors, or small presses that specialize in engaging and educational books for kids? How do you know which ones provide high-quality stories and illustrations?

Is it really worth the effort compared to traditional publishing, especially for first-time authors? How do you handle editing, cover design, and distribution on your own? Can you actually reach a wide audience without professional help? I’m curious about the challenges and benefits before taking the plunge. Any advice, tips, or personal experiences would be really helpful!
