Book Cover Template

This book cover design template focuses on the front cover only, giving children a simple but powerful way to express what a story is about. With a clear book outline and plenty of space to draw, it invites children to capture the mood, characters, or key idea of a book in one strong image.

It’s ideal for younger children, reluctant writers, or anyone who finds it easier to show ideas through pictures first. The activity naturally encourages talk — why they chose certain colours, what’s happening in the scene, and how the picture links to the story.

This template works well after reading a book, as part of a book review, or as a creative pre-writing task before children begin their own stories. Available in both colour and black-and-white versions, it’s flexible enough for quick activities or more detailed creative sessions.
