Rhyming Toddler Friendship Story

I’m looking for a skilled children’s writer to craft a warm, rhyming story of friendship for toddlers aged 0-3. The text should feel musical when read aloud, use simple vocabulary, and fit the length of a standard board book (roughly 250–350 words spread across 10–12 pages).

The plot can revolve around animal or human characters—whichever best delivers an engaging, age-appropriate tale of two friends learning to share, help, or play together. I’d like a clear beginning, gentle conflict, and a satisfying, upbeat resolution, all told through consistent meter and rhyme that parents will enjoy repeating.

Deliverables:
• A polished manuscript ready for illustration, supplied in Word or Google Docs
• A brief page-by-page layout suggestion so the illustrator knows where each stanza lands
• A two-sentence synopsis I can use for marketing copy

Acceptance criteria: flawless rhyme and rhythm, language suitable for early speech development, and an obvious friendship theme threaded through every page. If you have previous rhyming samples for this age group, please mention them so I can gauge style and tone.
