Children\\\'s book illustration

In need of a quality illustrator for a children's book. Currently, the book is about 15 pages, and would require possibly 15 separate illustrations (maybe less, if it is deemed better to have some illustrations cover two pages...). The book is unpublished, but investigating both traditional publishing outlets as well as online publishing (hopefully will do both). This is a small budget project in order to begin publishing children's stories. In addition to payment for your bid, you will also receive illustrator credit (bio and picture) on finished product and in all promotional materials. When you bid on project, I will contact you separately for examples of your work. Title of book is "Hold My Hand", and covers the daily life of a child with special needs and her interactions in making friends and engaging the world by reaching out her hand (title subject to change). Please note: illustrations will become my property, but credit will always be given to you, the illustrator, and I will include your bio and picture in all materials.
