Project description:
"I’m bringing a 20–30 page picture book to life for readers aged 5–10 and need a creative partner who can guide the project from blank page to print-ready file within the next three weeks.

Story
The narrative should feel serious in purpose yet remain engaging for young minds, weaving clear moral lessons into every chapter. Think thoughtful themes—kindness, honesty, perseverance—told through relatable characters and situations that keep attention without lecturing.

Illustration & Design
Visually, I’m after a bright, cartoonish style that pops off the page and balances the story’s sober intentions with a sense of fun. This includes:
• Full-color cover artwork
• 20–30 interior illustrations (one per page on average)
• Playful page layouts that integrate text and images seamlessly, sized for standard print trim and easy EPUB conversion

Deliverables
1. Manuscript (final text, proof-read)
2. High-resolution illustrations in layered format (PSD or AI)
3. Complete layout in Adobe InDesign (or comparable)
4. Print-ready PDF plus validated EPUB

Timeline & Workflow
Week 1: Outline, character sketches, and style guide approval
Week 2: Draft manuscript and rough spreads
Week 3: Final art, layout, and export to PDF/EPUB

I’m open to milestone reviews so we stay on track and make revisions efficiently. If you’ve previously combined storytelling with kid-friendly illustration and can handle both the creative and technical sides (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, EPUB export), let’s discuss how you’d approach each phase and see if our visions align."
