Recently a friend asked this question: She has two children's books
completed.  Would a publisher hire the illustrator and arrange for
the artwork, or should she do so.  

I suggested finding an illustrator willing to let the publisher 
decide whether to use the artwork, and pay them separately.  That
way the author would not have to shell out $$ to pay for artwork that
the publisher might not want to use.

My first manuscript only had one illustration necessary, that being a
map of the island where most of the action takes place.  I provided
photocopies of maps from a tourist flyer as examples.          

Any advice is appeciated.
