Childrens book illustrator

Childrens book illustrator for first time writer with a vision for colourful and vibrant illustrations of animals and landscapes. The book is about a Labrador dog travelling Australia and seeing animals for the first time. He was nervous to go on the trip and had a great adventure. Would love to work with an experienced illustrator to assist with guidance with publishing etc however happy to work with an emerging illustrator and enjoy the process together. I am based in Western Australia but I am open to working with an illustrator located anywhere.
