2D Character Animation Development

I'm an aspiring book publisher and am about to publish a children's book. I've written the book and also produced my own drawings and illustrations for the book's main character as well as other parts. I'm considering to additionally create brief animated shorts, using primarily my main character, which would involve him doing basic movements and also actions of an ecologically prudent nature, in a 2D atmosphere. Hence I'm looking for 2D character animators who can take pre-existing characters and animate them! I may be soon able to post samples of my character.
