What is your project?

“What Will I Become?” is a picture book for children aged 5-8 about Stella the Stem Cell. Stella has unlimited potential to become any cell in the body, and embarks on an adventure to discover where she belongs. Along the way, she meets many different cells that will ultimately develop into organs like the lungs, heart, and nervous system. Towards the end of the journey, just when doubt creeps in that maybe she doesn’t belong anywhere, some unexpected words from a friendly neuron guide Stella to her ultimate fate in the eye where she can see the world in all its beauty and wonder.

What feedback would you like?

I am now seeking an illustrator who can bring my vision to life. Any feedback/advice related to finding an illustrator or working with one would be much appreciated. Bonus points if you KNOW one who might be interested! I’m also exploring the self-publishing route, which I know will mean self-promotion. Marketing is not my forte, so any advice on how to market a self-published book would be so helpful. Thank you in advance!
