What makes a picturebook successful?

I am currently analysing data on how the elements of a picturebook's text and illustrations contribute to their success in sales and enjoyment. Once complete, I will include my results in a work-in-progress guide for writers and illustrators on how to enhance their picturebook design.
Some of the questions answered include:
1. What makes a picturebook an overnight sensation?
2. Why are some picturebooks our favourites whilst others are forgotten?
3. How can we write and illustrate successful picturebooks?
​
By looking at what strategies successful picturebooks utilise and how they contribute to their lasting success, we will be able to improve the design of our picturebooks and make the best use of these strategies.
