Children's Book Illustrator for Charming Cartoon Style Drawings

We are seeking a talented illustrator and graphic designer to bring a heartwarming children's book to life. Our 7-year-old daughter has created a book about her travels with her beloved cat, and we need a professional to redraw her original sketches. The goal is to preserve the unique charm and innocence of a child's drawing while elevating the artwork to a clean, bright, and professional cartoon style suitable for young readers aged 6-8.

Project Scope:
- Create 18-20 high-resolution illustrations based on provided child's drawings.
- Design one captivating book cover in the same consistent style.
- The desired aesthetic is cartoonish, bright, friendly, and highly appealing to young children.

Deliverables:
- 18-20 finished illustrations in high resolution.
- 1 complete book cover design.
- All source files (psd, ai, or procreate formats are acceptable).
- (Optional) Simple page layout adapted to the specified book format.

Client will provide:
- All original child's drawings.
- Detailed scene descriptions for each illustration.
- Examples of preferred art styles upon request.

Book Specifications:
- Format: Color 8.5 x 8.5 inches (216 x 216 mm).
- Binding: Perfect Bound on 70 White paper with Gloss Lamination.

Timeline: The preferred timeline for completion is 2-3 weeks, though this is negotiable depending on the freelancer's availability and project complexity.

Important Note: We require that all artwork be hand-drawn, with absolutely no artificial intelligence tools involved in the creation process. To ensure authenticity, a video recording of the drawing process will be requested.
