Not easy to break into. As most publishers already have preferred writers they deal with when it comes to picture books.

Also, you don't need to submit illustrations when pitching a picture book. Sometimes it holds it back. More often than not they'll supply the illustrations.

Best thing to do is write your book and submit the full story to a relevant agent/publisher. You can get a list of suitable agents/publishers from such books as The Writers and Artists year book.

Good luck.
