Jason Gray To Release Debut Children’s Book ‘Sparrows’
Centricity Music singer/songwriter debuts his first children’s book, Sparrows, based on his popular award-winning song that goes by the same name.
The title is scheduled for release on October 22.
Drawing inspiration from this radio hit off his 2016 album Where the Light Gets In, Gray joined creative forces with noted children’s author Jes Woller and illustrator Hilary Griffith in the release of this heartwarming children’s hardcover book geared to kids ages three to eight. Releasing October 22 via Centricity Music, Sparrows is available to order now.
Speaking about the book, Gray says:
“I’ve always dreamed of writing a children’s book,”
“And when Centricity Music offered to partner with me in that endeavor, I sat down with my friend Kory Henkel, Director of Marketing and Communications, to discuss which of my songs had a message that could translate well to children. ‘Sparrows’ was the obvious pick!
“From there we brainstormed about a storyline that would be age appropriate and meaningful, ultimately collaborating with co-writer Jes Woller, who has a real gift for speaking the language of children,” continues Gray. “The process resulted in the story of Ellie, a little girl who struggles daily with stuttering, and how she overcame her anxiety by trusting God with her worries and responding to bullying with love, kindness and compassion instead of retaliation.”
