Inspirational Toddler ABC 123 Manuscript

I’m putting together a bright, educational picture-book for children aged one to three and I need a writer who can turn my concept into a polished, read-aloud manuscript. The finished book will run 24–28 pages and cover every letter of the alphabet plus the numbers one through ten, framed by a friendly introduction and a warm closing.

The text should feel inspirational and motivating while still staying firmly in toddler territory—short, rhythmic sentences, mostly one- or two-syllable words, gentle repetition, and playful sounds that beg to be spoken aloud in story-time. Vocabulary must remain simple enough for early language learners yet lively enough to keep caregivers engaged.

Alongside the main text, I’ll need brief art notes to guide the illustrator; think quick scene cues or character placements rather than detailed descriptions.

Timing matters: I’d like the first full draft within two weeks of project start, followed by one revision round after I provide feedback. Experience writing picture books, nursery rhymes, or other literacy-focused content for this age group is highly preferred.

Deliverables
• Complete manuscript suitable for a 24–28-page board or picture book
• Concise illustration notes embedded in the manuscript where relevant
• One revised version incorporating my feedback

If you have a knack for crafting musical prose that inspires little listeners and you’re comfortable working to a clear deadline, I’d love to collaborate with you on this project.
