What am I creating?

First I will talk about what I'm creating:
I am going to be making a Children’s Book for 5 to 8 year olds based around anxiety. Statistics show that 96,000 children in the UK have an anxiety disorder, so I am making a story that will hopefully help them overcome these feelings.
My book will be 210mm x 210mm and will be 32 full colour pages long which includes a matt laminated cover. The artwork will be created using Water Colour Paint and Colouring Pencils.  
My books artwork will be put on InDesign to structure the layout and will be ready for printing by mid-March.
I will have my book professionally printed. I have previously printed my own book; although it was good to do myself, I found that the finish wasn’t exactly how I wanted it, the pages didn’t quite meet or were different sizes and the quality of paper could have been better.
The company I have looked into printing my book is based in Cheltenham and can print a very affordable 20 copies of my book for £98.00.
I will use a font that is clear and easy to read, yet has a playful character to it with some curving to the letters. 

Then I will describe my story:
My book is called Just Ride Through It and is about a young boy named Saxon who suffers from separation anxiety. He fears going to school and leaving his mother. When he looks at his school his view of it changes and the school turns into a deep, dark forest.
On Monday, he complains of feeling sick, not wanting to go to lessons, not being able to play with other children and wanting to go home. At the end of the day Saxon goes home and tells his mother how he doesn’t like school.
On Tuesday, Saxon wakes up feeling scared again. By the time he gets to school he gets quite upset. Saxon’s mother explains to him that what he is feeling is called anxiety and that it can’t hurt him if he doesn’t allow it to. She tells him to be brave and 'Just ride through it.'
Taking on his mother’s advice, Saxon decides he will ride a race car through his anxiety, and feels much better as he’s sped very fast through the feelings.
On Wednesday, he rides a giraffe through his anxiety. He’s so high up he looks over his feelings of anxiety and feels much better.
On Thursday, he rides a roller coaster. He’s doing too many flips and having too much fun to feel anxious.
On Friday, he rides a space ship. When you’re up in space it’s hard to think about being anxious.
By the end of the week Saxon has found a way to overcome his feelings of anxiety. He’s happy to go into school, go to his lessons and play with other children.

This will have my flat plan and example images of my characters to show with the description.

I will then discuss my time plan, another illustrator who has inspired my work and other books that use anxiety (which are available on separate posts.)
