Why don't you illustrate your own books?
First graders at Childs Elementary
I do not illustrate my own books because I am not a good illustrator. That is not my talent. The artists who illustrate my books spend as much time working on their art as I do on my writing. If I drew the pictures, you would not know what the animals are. That is okay for a drawing you put on the wall. But for a nonfiction book, about real animals, it helps if people can tell a turtle is a turtle, and so on.
