- Depict scientific or educational concepts in visually clear and age-appropriate ways (e.g., circuits, moon phases, erosion).
- Collaborate closely with the editorial and design team to ensure illustrations match story tone, pacing, and learning goals.
- Deliver final artwork in print-ready and digital-ready formats (preferably layered PSD, AI, or high-resolution TIFF).

**Qualifications**

- 13-15 illustrated spreads (~26 pages of full-color artwork)
- 1 illustrated title page
- 1 fully illustrated cover (front, spine, and back, if applicable)
- Optional: additional spot illustrations or visual diagrams, depending on project needs
