Me and my nine year old son have completed our first children's book. It is a hybrid between a picture book and early reader. The genre is fantasy and our target is readers age 5-10 years of age. The protagonist is a young leopard who dwells in Sub-Saharan Africa in isolation with his family (mother and older sister), but want's to be accepted by other animals in the habitat. He's curiosity leads him into an odd friendship with a bird (lilac-breasted roller) who is just a curious as he is. Though their friendship is forbidden, the two friend's rebellious acts ultimately breaks down the barriers set by preconceived notions and causes the community to unite. We are looking for an illustrator to create clear and vibrant depictions of our story that will help the young reader stay intrigued. The illustration needs to directly reflect the text, which will give clues about difficult words that the reader my not be familiar with.
