Adventure Picture Book for Preschoolers

I have an idea for a lively adventure story aimed squarely at children aged 3-5. I need a creative writer who can turn that spark into a complete 10-20-page picture-book manuscript that keeps little listeners wide-eyed from start to finish. The tone should be playful, the vocabulary simple enough for early readers, and every page must nudge the plot forward with clear, child-friendly language that invites expressive illustrations later on. Think gentle suspense, satisfying resolution, and a sprinkle of humor parents will enjoy reading aloud night after night. Please break the manuscript into page spreads so it’s easy for an illustrator to follow, noting any key visual beats or page-turn moments. Dialogue is welcome, rhyme or rhythmic prose is fine if it flows naturally, and a subtle takeaway—courage, curiosity, or teamwork—should shine through without feeling preachy. Deliverables • Full 10-20-page manuscript, paginated for picture-book layout • Brief illustration notes where essential to the storytelling • One-paragraph story summary for back-cover or marketing copy I’ll consider the project complete when the story reads smoothly aloud, fits the page count, and captures that sense of adventure that keeps preschoolers asking for “just one more read.”
