Jason Gray Launches Sparrows: His First Children’s Book
Renowned American singer-songwriter Jason Gray is making his foray into children’s literature with his debut book, Sparrows. Based on his popular award-winning song of the same name from his 2016 album Where the Light Gets In, Gray collaborates with esteemed children’s author Jes Woller and illustrator Hilary Griffith to craft a heartwarming narrative aimed at children aged three to eight.
The heartfelt story of Ellie, a young girl grappling with stuttering and bullying, resonates with the theme of trusting God amid anxiety and worries. By weaving in his personal struggles with a speech impediment, Gray hopes to nurture empathy and compassion, connecting authentically with his readers.
Set to release on October 22 through Centricity Music, Sparrows is more than just a children’s book; it’s a loving reminder that children are seen and cherished by God. The engaging picture book teaches vital lessons about love, kindness, and responding to cruelty with compassion.
As Gray stated, the verses echoing throughout both the song and book, such as Matthew 6:25-34, emphasize trusting God during turbulent times. This enchanting tale reassures young readers that they are never alone and constantly cared for, while also encouraging them to be loving friends amidst challenges.
