Why Are Children’s Books Good for Designers?
This is a question I had to ask myself as this type of media is something I am not familiar with. This page is explaining to me that it can be done by graphic designers and not just illustrators.
The first two paragraphs explain what needs to be done at the moment as it basically says that children's books these days are getting steadily worse because of the immediate problem of getting them to sell more than what they are intending to do. The first two paragraphs are shown below.
There are also some link to other illustators on here and designers that i have looked at as there work is something that i would like to achieve.

Children’s books are a great gift to the world, and are often credited with developing children’s minds and talents. Despite their moniker, however, simple stories can be inspirational for adults as well, and designers and illustrators in particular. The simplicity and fresh perspectives that quality children’s literature gives can seldom be found elsewhere.
I think we can all agree that, in the past few decades, the quality of children’s books has dropped significantly. Nearly all of the children’s books on the shelves are composed of garish colors, mediocre illustrations and impossibly painful rhyme. The immediate impression is of an adult trying desperately to make a book that will entertain a child for more than 10 minutes but doesn’t quite know how to do so. There seems to have been a disconnect between the adult and child minds. We need to reestablish that connection. "
