How does one become a childrens book illustrator?

Life is but a dream… questioned:
Im mostly curious, but also even considering it. I was wondering, that if an artist decides they want to illustrate childrens books, how would they go about doing so?

Also, how would a team of maybe an artist and writer together make childrens book if they choose to go at it alone?
Fun Childrens Activities – Parachute Games
Make a simple webpage that features some of your work, your art, etc. Maybe take on your first few projects for a lower price than the rest – to give yourself experience. You can join scriptlance.com as a freelancer. I really need an illustrator for a children’s book I am publishing – have yet to find one. Are you interested? If so, you can contact me at hollybethmann (at) gmail (dot) com – thanks!
You should read the book Children’s Writers and Illustrators Market.
This is a excellent link to information about writing and/or illustrating children’s books from the website The Purple Crayon. There are additional links within the article (including one on how to submit just artwork).
