cartoon illustrations

I'm looking for a talented cartoon artist to create a series of illustrations for me. I"m creating a christian children's book and I'm open to different styles, but I have specific ideas in mind for the characters or scenes that I would like to have made. Cute boys and girls in several different poses with similar faces. Maybe images of caucasian, asian, or other diverse children and a dog or cat. I need more than 10 illustrations in total, so I'm looking for someone with the skills and imagination to help bring this project to life.
