This is a lovely idea. It reminds me of the Transnational College of LEX, which has produced some surprisingly excellent science texts for young people. The young people who populate their books (like 'Who is Fourier?' which competently teaches 7th graders Fourier Analysis) are charming and both geographically and linguistically diverse :-) http://www.lexlrf.org/Our%20CDs%20&%20Books/TCL.htm They have a limited US presence, in Boston and San Francisco. It would be worth reaching out to them -- they may be interested in helping out directly, and could certainly recommend willing artists.
