Need to create some original constellation illustrations ... recommendations?

The first one is the Big Bear constellation and maybe Little Bear. I have bear figures, but quite sure how to approach it from there. Ideas to feed my muse?

    Not sure if it is something like this you are after.

    With the stars and then your bear figure to show it?

    Yes and no ... the writing is very straightforward and dry, targeting lower-grade school kids or even preschool. Almost no fun wording and using the alphabet to introduce very basic science words. So probably going to somehow use a fun character to visually 'narrate or navigate the kids through the very plain explanations and otherwise a bit over their heads visuals of space stuff. Maybe a monkey or dog in a space suit or using a telescope? I have no idea yet, lol.

    Although I was older than your target age, it was the Orion constellation that has stuck with me since it was pointed out in junior high. Living in the northern hemisphere I have been able to see the 'belt' almost everywhere I have lived. Of course I can find the Little and Big Dipper, but nothing grabs my attention like Orion. 

    Consider what the sky in Australia would show versus North America?

    Or if the constellations have different names or explanations in different cultures?
