Toddler Farm Animal Storybook
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a warm, engaging manuscript for a picture book aimed squarely at toddlers (ages 1-3). The story will revolve around friendly farm animals—think curious calves, chatty chickens and playful piglets—who guide little listeners through a simple, comforting adventure. Because the audience is so young, the language must be rhythmic, repetitive and limited to a toddler’s vocabulary, ideally no more than about 250–350 words in total.
I will rely on you to:
• craft a clear beginning, gentle middle and satisfying end that can be spread across 12–14 illustrated pages
• weave in sounds (“moo,” “cluck,” “oink”) and easy action verbs children can mimic
• suggest page breaks and brief art notes to help an illustrator understand each scene
• provide a short title and a one-sentence “read-aloud” pitch for parents
Acceptance criteria: the text must be original, age-appropriate, farm-animal focused, and ready for hand-off to an illustrator without further structural edits.
If this feels like your barnyard, let’s bring these animals to life for little readers.
