Expected duration: 2-4 months I need a children’s book illustrator to illustrate my first book, Ellie Morelli & The Pack Discover Their Super Powers! The story is about bullying, forgiveness, and realizing the parts of ourselves that make us different, are actually our super powers.
The main character is Ellie, my dog who is a lab/hound mix. Her best friends, a.k.a. “the pack“ include: Winnie, a dachshund; Henry, a beagle; and Fernando, a French bulldog. Each of these characters have distinct characteristics that lead them to get bullied by Spike, the mean dog at school. Ellie has very large ears; Winnie has a very long nose; Henry has a high-pitched howl; and Fernando has two sharp lower protruding teeth. At the end of the book, the pack finds themselves in a position to use their distinct characteristics to actually save the day and help Spike when he’s caught in a scary situation.
If you love dogs, and appreciate diversity and inclusion, this project is for you.
I need 25-30 illustrations for an 8x8 size book. I’m going for quirky/fun sketches. I attached a sample from one of my favorite children’s books.
