Hi, This sounds like a very sweet project and I understand the tone you are aiming for. For ages two to three the illustration needs to feel calm safe and comforting rather than energetic or cartoonish and that bedtime story softness is something I focus on in this style. I can create a pastel realistic cover illustration of Lily with gentle proportions soft lighting and a warm positive expression that feels appropriate for very young children. I’ll keep shapes simple and soothing while still giving the artwork a polished storybook quality. I can also provide two additional cover variations using the same illustration with thoughtful composition changes. I have experience with children’s book artwork and I’m comfortable working with faith aligned themes in a respectful subtle way. Commercial usage rights will be included and files will be delivered print ready and high resolution. I’d be happy to continue with the full book and future titles if this first step goes well. Initial concepts can be shared within a few days. Portfolio https://www.freelancer.com/u/Humaumair12 Regards, Huma
