Illustration Design Brief

I have a kids book with 2 characters Ollie the owl and Elijah. It will be 11 scenes spread out over 22 pages. So when you open the book the image will be fluid/continuous from page 1 to 2 and then 3 and 4 will be it's own illustration etc.

The first 2 pages will be blank with the book dedication.

I also need the book cover designed.

In order not to waste anyone's time, feel free to submit 1 illustration from the options below and I'll choose based on that and then if I choose you you can design the rest at that time.

Illustration 1
Ollie the owl had a lot to say
Sometimes his friends wished he'd go away

Illustration 2
He'd try and try to make ammends
But he always made things worse in the end

Illustration 3
Wasn't there anyone that would love him so
Anyone at all that wouldn't ask him to go

Illustration 4
That very same night
Little Elijah prayed
God send me an owl
To make the gophers go away

Illustration 5
God heard his prayer
So he sent a friend
Ollie the owl was on his way
He'd never be lonely again

Illustration 6
So Ollie left his home with no place to go
He flew and flew he looked high and low

Illustration 7
And just when it seemed his luck had run out
He saw the box Elijah put up and he started to shout

Illustration 8
Hooo-hooo
The little owl cried
Someone made a home for him and he didn't know why

Illustration 9
Elijah heard little Ollie's song
He ran to the back
It didn't take long

Illustration 10
God sent him and owl
And he would love him so
Ollie sang all night
Elijah never asked him to go

Illustration 11
He brought all his friends to meet Ollie the owl
Everyone agreed he made such a great pal

Target audience:
Kids 1-5 years old

Design requests:
This is loosely based on a true story and Elijah has blonde hair/blue eyes. The backyard has a tree fort and a big garden and 2 cats (1 is orange 1 is orange/black/white). I would prefer a more realistic looking owl than a super cartoony owl but still whimsical. If you include any other kids in the last scene I would request they be of varying ethnicity.

*I intend to publish this independently via createspace on amazon and will include your name how you wish it to appear as illustrator as well as give you the opportunity to dedicate the book to someone if you would like. I will not use these images for anything other than this book

**I know this is not the biggest budget but it's a fun project I'm trying to do with my 3 year old son and intend to save any profits from the book for him to go to college. Thank you!
