I've looked into the in's and out's of childrens books, and you wouldn't be required to do any illustrations yourself. It is rare for publishers to accept a writer's own illustrations, as they prefer to choose their own artists for projects. Preliminary sketches would be required, nothing more.
I see 'Miracle' as not really a children's book, but more the type of book everyone would read. Your writing style is so clean and accessible, and more importantly honest and not patronising, that anyone could happily pick up such a book a while away an afternoon in it's company.
Many children's books make the mistake of talking down to their audience, but part of the charm of this thread is that you bring us on the learning curve with you, we learn at the same speed as you.
A mixture of 'lifestyle' book, technical manual and adventure story - i reckon it would sell like hot cakes!
