Toddler Animal Story Writer Needed

I’m putting together a board book for babies and toddlers (0-3 years old) and want a short, engaging manuscript that celebrates animals and nature. The text should be playful, rhythmic, and perfectly suited to bright, cartoonish-and-fun illustrations I plan to commission next.

Here’s what I need from you:
• A complete manuscript of roughly 150–250 words, broken into page spreads so the pacing feels natural for read-aloud time.
• Simple, sensory language that introduces a variety of animals and their natural surroundings—think textures, sounds, movements—while keeping sentences toddler-friendly.
• An accompanying illustration brief for each spread that hints at the visual action and color palette, aligned with the cartoonish style I have in mind.

When you send the draft, please include at least one alternate title suggestion and note any vocabulary that might be new for very young ears. I’ll review, request tweaks if needed, and sign off once the story flows smoothly, scans well when read aloud, and matches the playful animal-nature theme.

Let’s create a book little hands will reach for again and again!
