So a musician friend of mine asked me if he could create music to go along with my children's book. A mutual friend narrated it. It is quite good. I don't know how to proceed with it. I would like to be able to sell it as a download. I appreciate any help.

Sounds like a great idea! I'm sorry I don't have any knowledge or help to offer you.  I hope someone else will.

It sounds like a great idea. If you're selling your book directly from your website, you can have several different formats: physical book, ebook, audiobook. I don't know whether you could upload it to Amazon and Draft2Digital--you'll have to check their terms of service. Good luck!

If your book is self published, you can do what you want with it. If not, make sure you own audio rights and mention the project to your editor. They may have good advice. Decide on your goals also. Is this a tool for marketing the book or something you intend to sell on its own? It could be free with the book or sold as a separate download.
