Research publishers who publish children’s picture books. ✅

Do they accept unsolicited manuscripts?✅

Do they publish your style of book, will it fit their list?✅

Do they welcome first time authors? ✅

Do they come through the email and stand in your living room scoffing at your ridiculous attempt❌❌❌
