Huge congratulations on the release of your new book, "The North Pole Appeal: A Timeless Christmas Classic"! I'm thrilled to see your work hitting the shelves.
As a holiday-themed children's book, "The North Pole Appeal" promises to be a heartwarming and entertaining read. What inspired you to create this story, and how did you balance the themes of kindness, generosity, and the true spirit of Christmas?
Could you tell me more about the main characters, Michael Eldritch and Michael Aldrich? How do their contrasting personalities and experiences shape the story and its message?
The book's collaboration with Hector Luciano Jr., the creator of the "Crows vs. Cats" series, adds a unique touch to the storytelling. How did this collaboration come about, and what do you think it brings to the narrative?
Once again, congratulations on your new release! I wish you all the best with "The North Pole Appeal" and look forward to hearing more about your creative journey.
Thank you so much for your kind words and warm congratulations on the release of The North Pole Appeal. I apologize for the delay in replying, but your message truly brightened my day! I’m thrilled to hear that you’re excited about this holiday-themed story.
Regarding your question about the two Michaels, their contrasting personalities indeed play a significant role in shaping the story and its message. Michael Aldrich is the epitome of kindness, respect, and diligence. He’s the student every teacher admires, always eager to help others, participate in class, and complete his assignments on time. His actions reflect the true spirit of Christmas—generosity and goodwill.
On the other hand, Michael Eldritch brings a mischievous energy to the story. He disrupts the classroom, misbehaves at school, and often bullies others. His journey in the book highlights the importance of self-awareness and transformation. Together, their opposing traits create a dynamic interplay that underscores the power of kindness and the possibility of change.
Collaborating with Hector Luciano Jr. on this project was a delightful experience. His creative touch, inspired by his Crows vs. Cats series, added depth and a unique flavor to the narrative, making it even more engaging for readers of all ages.
Once again, thank you for your thoughtful message and for taking an interest in the story behind the book. I hope it brings as much joy to readers as it did to us while creating it!
