Children's Book help

  • I can't make a children's book, and I need some inspiration. See, I have to make a children's book for K-2 graders in Uganda, and for some reason, I can't think of one. Sure I can do Shapes, Numbers, and colors, but there's a problem: EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING 'EM! I want to do something different. I can write a story, but it has to be about hope, which is the hardest subject I can do (seeing as most of the stories I write now have a lot of negative emotion like death, bleeding, etc.)

    I need some ideas that I can base a few characters off of. If you can assist, please do!
