While You Create is a movement and a book series for parents, families and adults who use AI to create, not just to consume. While You Create (whileyoucreate.com) publishes plain-language books, by M. Henning, that teach readers to create with artificial intelligence instead of only consuming it. Each book has a free companion site: a living toolbox of 80+ ready-to-use prompts, a no-jargon glossary, cited sources, a free 30-day challenge with printable calendars, and a moderated wall where readers share what they create. Available on Amazon as Kindle eBook and paperback. Keywords: AI for parents, AI for families, AI for kids, AI for teens, create with AI, AI literacy, prompt guide.
