Rory Feek of country music duo, Joey+Rory, shares a heartfelt message for children about the wonder of the day God made them in his second children’s book, The Day God Made You. The children’s book goes on sale wherever books are sold, Tuesday, June 16.
A colorful picture book with vivid illustrations from artist Malgosia Piatkowska, The Day God Made You is a beautiful reminder to all children that God created them with purpose and love. With its gentle words about God's personal care, families will find comfort and affirmation in remembering that God delights in who He created them to be.
“The book came from my little girl Indiana’s almond shaped eyes,” said Feek. “Although, on the day Indy was born, my wife Joey and I had no idea that she would have Down syndrome and be a little different than her big sisters and other children – God did. That was a beautiful realization for me. Not just for how Indy is uniquely made, but how all of us are. From the families we have and the work we do, to the places we live and the dreams that we dream…He knew it all. We might hold the pen, but truly, God is the writer of our life stories"
The Day God Made You (ISBN #9781400223503) will be available in hardcover ($16.99), board book ($9.99) and e-book ($9.99) formats.
