This link might be helpful, in particular for the younger set (just ignore the publicity aspect):

But I still find that the best way to teach kids about how a book is made is to plan an author visit to their classroom/school. Authors' presentations usually include explaining the process from idea to published book, and now that virtual visits are becoming more popular, they are also becoming easier to arrange and more budget friendly.
