Fran and Jim go to the beach. Fran’s parents and Jim’s parents are there. Fran, Jim and both of their parents are from the Turks and Caicos Islands. Fran takes off her slippers and feels the sand between her toes. Jim runs towards the sea; he couldn’t wait to get into the water. Before reaching the water, Jim pauses, looks around and shouts to Fran to go into the water with him. Fran starts to run towards Jim then stops before reaching the water. Jims asks “what’s wrong? Don’t you want to go swimming with me?”. Fran looked a little sad and said “I want to go swimming but I don’t know how. I am afraid.” Jim tells Fran, “don’t be afraid, I have something that can help you to learn how to swim. Come with me.” Jim then runs towards his parents and shouts to his mother, “mommy, can you please give me the arm floats?”. Jim’s mother took out the arm floats from her beach bag, and gave them to Jim. Jim gave one to Fran and said “here, blow that float up and I will blow this one up”. Fran and Jim each blew up one arm float. Then Jim said “Now slide these up your arms. I will help you. They will help you to float in the water.” After the floats were on her little upper arms, she held out her arms and started to walk towards the water with Jim. Jim went into the water up to his knees first. Jim then turned and reached out his hand to Fran and said “come in the water with me”. Fran held his hand and walked into the water with him. As Fran went further into the water, she then exclaimed to Jim “I can’t feel the bottom with my feet anymore!”. Jim then laughed and said, “that’s because you are floating”. Then Fran realized that the arm floats were helping her to float. She then laughed and shouted to her parents saying “Mommy, Daddy, I am floating!”. Her parents waved to her smiling and Jim’s parents were also smiling. Fran and Jim then had fun laughing and playing in the water together, while both of their parents looked on, smiling. Fran and Jim had the best beach day ever.

As nature awakens from winter, a celebration of spring brings renewal, hope, and colorful festivities.

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.

Once upon a time in the whimsical town of Sweetville, Halloween was just around the corner, and the Cookie Adventure Playground was getting ready for its most exciting event of the year: the Spooktacular Cookie Bash! As the leaves turned vibrant shades of orange and gold, the playground transformed into a magical realm of cookie-themed Halloween fun. Giant gingerbread men decorated the entrance, and the sweet scent of sugar cookies wafted through the air, inviting everyone in for a day of adventure. **The Cookie Maze** Families began their journey through the Cookie Maze, where paths were lined with candy corn and gummy worms. Inside, little goblins and ghouls searched for hidden treats and spooky surprises. The maze twisted and turned, revealing towering cookie ghosts and delightful chocolate chip witches that offered sweet hints and rewards. **Cookie Decorating Station** Next, everyone gathered at the Cookie Decorating Station, where kids donned chef hats and aprons. With an array of colourful icing, sprinkles, and edible glitter, they transformed plain cookies into spooky masterpieces. From monstrous mummies to adorable pumpkin faces, creativity flourished. Each child has a box of tasty creations to share (or sneakily eat) later. **Monster Mash Dance Party** As the sun set, the playground came alive with the Monster Mash Dance Party. Families boogied alongside cookie-costumed characters, dancing to fun Halloween tunes. Laughter filled the air as everyone joined the conga line, wiggling and jiggling under glowing, spooky lights. The night's highlight was the best-dressed costume contest, where kids showed off their cookie-themed outfits to win a year’s supply of cookies! With fireworks, camp fire, marshmallows, slime and cooking
