Description
The problem is not a lack of books.
It is a lack of attention.
In an age where AI tools can generate children's books at scale, supply has exploded-but demand has not followed.
Not Enough Consumers examines the mismatch between infinite production and limited attention, and what it means for authors, publishers, and parents.
This book explores how children's books are created, distributed, and chosen-and why most will never be read.
Part of the Westmoor Coast Learning - Systems Series.

Person
Fu LeeStrategist | Illustrator | Independent PublisherFu Lee is an independent publisher, writer, and artist dedicated to decoding the structural shifts redefining the modern literary landscape. His work provides a critical lens on the intersection of generative AI, self-publishing ecosystems, and the algorithmic forces that now dictate how books are created, discovered and crucially selected.With over 25 years of experience in design and visual communication, Fu's professional practice spans branding, editorial design, illustration, and digital media. This extensive background informs his analytical approach to "Signal Strength," exploring how ideas are structured and presented to survive within increasingly hostile attention systems.Through both hands-on publishing and systemic observation, Fu bridges the gap between the mechanics of content creation and the psychological realities of consumer demand. His mission is to help creators navigate the "Choice Economy" by moving beyond the noise of overproduction toward the clarity of high-impact positioning.Explore more of his work at:www.fu-ho.com
