Have a story in mind but need visuals to match? At The Rainbow Stories, we transform your manuscript or idea into a beautifully illustrated children’s book. Whether you’re starting from a simple concept or a full script, our illustration services are designed to walk with you every step of the way, from rough sketches to polished Illustration.
You send a finished manuscript or script; we return it as an illustrated book. That means the characters designed, the whole book storyboarded, the spreads illustrated, the cover drawn, and print-ready files at the end. A picture book takes ten to fourteen weeks from accepted quote to files, with your review time built into that.

Ten to fourteen weeks for a picture book, from accepted quote to print-ready files, with your review time at each stage built in. A character set on its own takes about three business days, and a 32-page storyboard about three weeks.
Every script is quoted on its own. Three things move the figure: how many characters have to be designed and kept consistent, how complex the backgrounds are, and the mix of full spreads against smaller spot illustrations. Send us those three things and you get a real price rather than a range.
It stays yours. We work from it to design the characters, storyboard the book and illustrate the spreads. We do not rewrite it unless you ask us to, and we do not share or publish it.
You do. Full copyright transfers to you on final payment, including commercial use.
No. Everything is drawn by hand by a named illustrator, and the roughs and storyboards exist at every stage as evidence.
