...And Now Miguel is a novel by Joseph Krumgold that won the Newbery Medal for excellence in American children's literature in 1954. It deals with the life of Miguel Chavez, a 12-year-old Hispanic-American shepherd from New Mexico. It is also the title of a 1953 documentary directed by Krumgold. In 1966, a feature film adaptation was directed by James B. Clark and starred Pat Cardi.
Plot summary
[edit]Miguel Chavez has dreamed of visiting the Sangre de Cristo Mountains since he was very little. This summer, he is going to work hard and pray until his father, and grandfather realize that he is ready to take the trip with the rest of the older men.
His prayers are granted, though ironically – when his older brother is drafted his father needs an extra body, and grudgingly allows Miguel to accompany them. Miguel is miserable with the manner in which his wish has been granted, and confesses to his brother what he prayed for. His brother explains that he had been praying to leave New Mexico, and see more of the world – while he is not happy about being drafted, he fatalistically accepts that it is the only way he is likely to be able to fulfill his dream. The brothers resolve to allow God to work freely for the rest of their lives, and not bother God with petty requests.
Illustrations
[edit]The book was illustrated by artist Jean Charlot, described as " the greatest artist ever to devote himself regularly to the field of children's books".[1] The New York Herald Tribune reviewer gave credit to Charlot: "Fully half of our pleasure in the book lay in the superb Charlot drawings."

Helllo, I think you should make these changes:
Original:
Plot
Set in the Florida in the early 20th century. The story deals with two families, the Boyers and the Slaters. The Boyers move to Florida to farm strawberries. They come into conflict with their new neighbors (the Slaters), who raise cattle and let their animals roam loose. The two main characters are Birdie Boyer the "Strawberry Girl" of the book's title, and Shoestring Slater whose pony ruins the Boyers strawberries. The feud between the two families heightens through the book, but they reconcile by the end of the novel.

Another thing you may want to look at.
Original:
For each of the twenty fables Lobel's text occupies one page with his colour illustration on the facing page. He gives a moral to each, but while the moral is genuine. The tone of the fables is cheerful and playful rather than moralistic. For instance, in the first fable a bed-loving crocodile admires the orderly pattern of flowers on his bedroom wallpaper. When confronted with the riot of flowers in Mrs. Crocodile's garden he retreats to his bed in distress. Where he is comforted by the neat floral rows of the wallpaper. After that he seldom leaves his bed, becoming a sickly shade of green. The moral is "Without a doubt, there is such a thing as too much order."
