childrens book illustrator

I am in need of a children’s book illustrator to create a realistic style of artwork for a book intended for a 6-10 year old audience. The illustrations will be the essential ingredient that will take this story to life, so I am looking for someone with an exceptional talent and an eye for detail. The book will require 11-20 illustrations, all of which must reflect the tone of my story while also maintaining the desired level of realism. This is a story of sudden loss and the mourning process we each go through. Main character is AJ who has lost his best friend, a cat named Fiona. Fiona is a grey tabby with green eyes. AJ is a six-year-old boy, Caucasian, with brown hair and the same-colored green eyes as Fiona. A passion for creating vivid and captivating illustrations is key! I look forward to seeing your work.
