Children's book illustration Character design

Hello

I’m an author developing a children’s picture book called **Soléa the Seed**, set in a Harlem community garden.

The story follows a tiny seed with a big imagination who slowly grows into the flower she was meant to become. A humorous side character, Pip the worm, keeps misinterpreting her dreams along the way.

The manuscript is about **500 words** and structured for a **32-page picture book**.

I’m currently looking to collaborate with an illustrator for:

• character design (Soléa + Pip)

• 1–2 sample spreads

• potentially the full book if it’s a good fit

Style ---- whimsical children’s illustration

storybook watercolor illustration

playful character illustration

soft gouache children’s art

it should feels warm, expressive, and perfect for storytelling.

I can provide short manuscript and illustration overview so you can see the concept.

Could you let me know:

• if you’re available

• your pricing for character design and a sample spread

• your typical timeline

Thank you, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!
