Hi there! I am Mac, the spunky Border Collie, and this is the story of how I learned to follow my heart. On a sunny spring day, I made my grand entrance on a beautiful farm in New York, and guess what – it was Mother's Day, too! Talk about a double celebration! Meet my beautiful mama, Mae. “She has the charm to match her name!” When I entered the world, I was so tiny that I could snuggle comfortably in the palm of my “Mama’s Mama.” I am one of 11 pups, and the bond I share with my four brothers and six lively sisters is incredibly strong. Trust me, there is never a dull day around here! My siblings and I were an energetic bunch, racing through the wide-open fields of the farm, jumping, spinning, and chasing each other. “After a day filled with fun and games, Mama would treat us to milk.” “It was so comforting to snuggle up with my siblings and Mama as she lovingly fed us.” My time on the farm with my mama and siblings was magical. We raced through the lush fields, and I barked joyfully as I chased them. "My heart was filled with happiness, ready for every adventure!" Born in the lush green fields of Britain and Scotland, the Border Collie is the superstar of herding. Our purpose is to oversee livestock, such as sheep and cows, and trust me, we have the natural talents for it. For us, it is a walk in the park! “When summer came, and we turned six weeks old, our human caretaker announced we would soon go to new homes; it made me sad because I loved spending every second with my brothers and sisters. Our playtime was the highlight of my day! As I watched my siblings find new homes and follow in our parents’ pawprints, either herding cows or guiding sheep, I daydreamed about my future too.”

The illustrations for Micah and the Night of Divine Hope should be vibrant and engaging for children aged 3–7 while evoking a sense of wonder and warmth to captivate adults. The story begins with a cold, starry night over rolling hills, where Micah, a small shepherd boy, sits wrapped in a woolen cloak alongside his playful lamb, Rufus, whose funny “baah” moments provide lightheartedness. The vastness of the sky emphasizes Micah’s smallness, with a hint of the brighter star to come. As the golden star appears and casts a shimmering path of light across the hills, Micah and Rufus are shown trekking through various landscapes, such as rocky paths and grassy hills, bathed in the star’s glow. The star leads them to a warm and humble stable, illustrated with soft lighting and intimate details. Inside, the baby Jesus glows gently in the manger, surrounded by Mary and Joseph’s awe-filled expressions. Micah kneels hesitantly, offering Rufus, whose curious and comforting presence throughout the journey makes his gift all the more meaningful. The angelic proclamation bursts forth in a double-page spread, with the heavens illuminated by radiant angels singing joyfully, their presence overwhelming and glorious. The final scene captures the tranquility of a sunrise as Micah walks back to his flock, transformed by hope and peace, while Rufus remains curled contentedly at the manger, completing his role as a gift for Jesus. The illustrations should balance humor, warmth, and wonder, ensuring they resonate with both the story’s emotional depth and its lighthearted moments.
