I feel like how to figure out how to price your work should be the first thing they talk about in art school. But here's some resources to help you determine your own price. Don't undersell yourself! Artwork is valuable!
Get a copy of the Graphic Artist's Guild Pricing and Ethical Guidelines
handbook. It has a large section on going rates for all kinds of work.
and the Childrens Writers and Illustration Market Guide specifically for children's book work.
and also Check out the Freelancers Bible for all kinds of other freelancing resources.
Take a look at the following:
The Writer's Market website http://www.writersmarket.com/

Do some research and figure out what publisher best fits your book. (It's as easy as going to a bookstore, picking up books that look like yours, and checking the credits) What's your age range and level reader? Then follow the instructions given to you in these guides—the publishers have taken their time to spell out exactly how they want to see things. Figure out a solid pitch that says who the book is for and how it can best be marketed. That's where you start. Source: Assistant for a small publisher.
