Illustrator Needed for Original Children's Picture Book (English & Haitian Creole)

I'm looking for an experienced children's book illustrator to bring **Book 1** of my original bilingual (English & Haitian Creole) children's picture book, **A Day with Ti Jan and Marie**, to life. The story follows two young Haitian children, Ti Jan and Marie, as they experience everyday family life while learning, exploring, and building vocabulary in both English and Haitian Creole. The artwork should be vibrant, colorful, expressive, and culturally authentic, celebrating the warmth, joy, and beauty of Haitian family life. This project is for **Book 1 only**. I have already completed the manuscript, page sequence, storyboard, dialogue, and creative direction. I'm looking for an illustrator who can: * Design memorable and consistent characters. * Create engaging full-color illustrations with detailed backgrounds. * Tell the story visually through expressive emotions and body language. * Design a professional front and back cover. * Deliver high-resolution, print-ready files for Amazon KDP, along with editable source files. **Please include examples of children's books you have illustrated, especially projects with recurring characters and colorful storytelling.** **Note:** The posted budget is for the initial milestone. If we're a great fit, I plan to continue the project through additional milestones until Book 1 is complete.
