why artists don'g also get royalties? I'm not sure, some of them do like Mary Granpre the artist who does the Harry Potter books.....but it is rare.
while you may have an agreement with the artist, the publisher will want a seperate contract from the illustrator.

Here's the work I was thinking of submitting. It's all copyrighted - so no stealing it.
I thought I’d step into the sky
I pondered it was worth a try
And in my eyes the clouds did scry
As I did step into the sky
I gave a step in mighty try
And slowly rose into the sky
The birds looked at my legs so spry
And watched my rise into the sky
As I did walk across the sky
Upon my step I wondered why
For what reason should birds need fly
Instead of step into the sky
As I ascended to the sky
I thought it odd I’d never tried
Before this day to dream to fly
And simply step into the sky
And in my sight I saw on nigh
Another walking through the sky
I looked at him, he looked at I
As we did pass between the skies
I thought of this upon my stride
How others walked upon the sky
Was it just us, this man and I
That just once stepped into the sky
After I’d stepped into the sky
I thought of wonders I’d espied
And how they paled compared to my
Thought to step into the sky
If I would step down from the sky
I may just lose my chance to fly
If I lost this, I’d have to cry…
I think I’ll stay here in the sky
And so I stayed inside the sky
To watch the people who pass by
And never look into the sky
To see themselves inside my eyes
I thought I’d step into the sky
I say to those who pass on by
You never know until you try
And take your step into the sky
Fin.
