Librarians have suggested I do board books. They want more STEM and NF books for the very young (age 2 to 6).
Below:
A Proposal for a lift-the-flap book. One flap on right side per spread. 12 spreads/22 animals.
[Although this proposal is for a lift-the-flap board book,
it can also be easily reformatted as a classic picture book for younger readers.]
Could be a series - besides animals, food ("When is an APPLE not an Apple?" When it's a Pineapple, etc), or other simple nouns.

Proposal
Author/Illustrator: Roxie Munro
Title (suggested): "When is a Rhinoceros NOT a Rhinoceros?"
Format:
Board book, approximately 6" x 6." 16 to 24 pages (8 to 12 spreads). A single large lift-the-flap per spread, opening on right side. Bright, colorful, "realistic" nature illustrations (see 1-minute video art sample at https://www.roxiemunro.com/Rhino-board-book-proposal.html). Rhythmic text, perfect for reading aloud. Interactive with a surprise ending. Last page with features to find that the animals have in common (for parents, teachers, and caregivers).
[Although this proposal is for a lift-the-flap board book,
it can also be easily reformatted as a classic picture book for younger readers.]
Ages: 2 through 5 years old
Overview:
A lift-the-flap board book with a game-like Q&A format with examples of animals named after other animals because of characteristics like color, size of eyes, shapes, behaviors, etc. See 35-second video on how the flaps work and a 2 1/4-minute video dummy of rough sketches https://www.roxiemunro.com/Rhino-board-book-proposal.html. The eleven examples shown in this dummy are not final (RHINOCEROS, BUMBLEBEE, LION, PIG, LEOPARD, DOG, CAT, PARROT, HORSE, KANGAROO , and BABY GOAT and the eleven animals named after them). There's a surprise at the end!
There are many other animals we can use. The text is not final and the sketches are rough. Finals will be bold, colorful, and executed in pen and colored inks. Please see 1-minute sample art video.
Teaches children animal names, physical properties, and characteristics/behaviors. How to look carefully and with discrimination. To become familiar with and appreciate the variety of the creatures in our world.
Could be a series - besides animals, food ("When is an APPLE not an Apple?" When it's a Pineapple, etc), or other simple nouns.
Librarians have suggested I do board books. They cite a need for STEM and/or nonfiction books for younger children (I've done many large format nonfiction picture books for ages 5-10/K through 5th grade - books on nature and science, about birds, snakes, bugs, rodents, coral reef creatures, rainforest animals, many specific ecosystems, dinosaurs, and more). My work is realistic, colorful, and accessible with an element of whimsy.
Young children recognize and appreciate art. I don't "talk down" to them visually. Librarians have said they are tired of depersonalized obviously computer-generated and cartoon-y art. Generic or stock photography is not always clear, compelling, and satisfying (or unique). Children "read" art with their caregivers; they are "visual learners." Good lively correct illustrations with a fun attention to detail with simple text is critical.
Competition:
"Dominated by licensed titles" (quoting a librarian). Also concept books (usually a series developed by publisher): ABCs, Counting, Colors, DK, etc with bright simple artwork. There are board books with animals (mainly either in a cartoon-y style or using stock photographs).
Marketing:

Roxie was born in Texas, and grew up in southern Maryland, by the Chesapeake Bay. At the age of six, she won first prize in a county-wide contest for a painting of a bowl of fruit. She has been a working artist all her life, for a while freelancing in Washington DC as a television courtroom artist. It was great training for life drawing, concentration under pressure, and making deadlines. Clients included CBS, the Washington Post, and the Associated Press. Fourteen of her paintings have been published as covers of The New Yorker magazine.
She also creates oils, watercolors, prints, and drawings, primarily cityscapes, which are exhibited widely in the US in galleries and museums. Roxie's work is in numerous private, public, and corporate collections. From Dec 12, 2020, to April 25, 2021, the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, MA, hosted a solo exhibition: "Inside-Outside Dinosaurs: Creating a Book with Roxie Munro."
Roxie studied at the University of Maryland, the Maryland Institute College of Art (Baltimore), earned a BFA in Painting from the University of Hawaii, attended graduate school at Ohio University (Athens), and received a Yaddo Fellowship in Painting. She lectures in museums, schools, libraries, conferences, and teaches in workshops.
Many oils and watercolors are views from the roof of her sky-lighted loft studio in Long Island City, New York, just across the East River from her home in mid-Manhattan. She is married to the Swedish writer/photographer, Bo Zaunders.
