You should first go to your local library and volunteer to do children's book reading and promote your book to the parents, you can also go to local book stores in your city and go to the children's book department and look at the publishing agency contact information and write them a letter, asking them to publish your book, or to even take a look at it. One more suggestion, visit customer service at your local shopping mall and tell them you want to use a table a few days a month to promote your book. Its free. There are many opportunities don't sit and let it pass you by. Good Luck!! I will look out for your book in stores!

The best way to promote a book depends on a number of things...

How much time do you have (are you the author?)
Do you like public speaking? would you want to read at schools?
Is it a fiction or non-fiction? Does it have a tie-in to a particular location or activity?
Did you publish it yourself? or with a traditional publishing company?
Who is the illustrator and are they interested in promoting the book as well?

How well a book sells is heavily dependent on what the author's goals are and how actively they choose to promote their book. Some authors are very visible, talking on the radio, organizing book signings, and reaching and exceeding their sales goals . Higher-selling authors have sold over 5000 copies so far. On the flip side, some authors that have only sold a few copies, mostly to friends and family, because that's all they wanted to sell. I believe that authors will sell more and more copies as we continue to patronize services that will give them the ability to market their books more effectively, but in the long run, sales are a reflection of each author's goals. If becoming a bestselling author is your goal, you will be working to achieve maximum sales. If you are publishing your family's history or a personal memoir you may only wish to have your book available to family and friends. How well your book sells is entirely up to you.

Try this book trailer perhaps?

Book promotion is a daunting task; a book can be promoted in many ways - by distributing few copies to local general libraries, school libraries, through literary agents, participating in trade shows, blogs, social media sites and so on. In all, it requires persistent efforts. Not all popular books are great work, but the success largely depends on the book promotion efforts.

hi, there are many ways as suggested by others, however, participation in some international book fair could be of great help in promoting a new book or author.
