Jason Gray Spreads Hope with Heartwarming Children’s Book Sparrows Debut

Award-winning Centricity Music artist Jason Gray has spread his wings beyond music, crafting his first children’s book, Sparrows, based on the beloved song from his 2016 album Where the Light Gets In. Teaming up with children’s author Jes Woller and illustrator Hilary Griffith, Gray transforms his soul-stirring anthem into an uplifting story for kids ages 3 to 8, releasing October 22. This heartwarming tale of faith, resilience, and compassion takes flight with a touching message for children navigating life’s challenges.

“I’ve always dreamed of writing a children’s book,” shares Gray, whose own struggles with a stutter inspired the story. Sparrows tells the tale of Ellie, a young girl battling anxiety and stuttering, who learns to trust God with her fears, responding to bullying with kindness rather than retaliation. Gray’s personal connection to the message is unmistakable: “Growing up, I always feared being called on because of my speech impediment. The story of Ellie allowed me to offer hope from my experience.”

Grounded in Matthew 6:25-34 and Matthew 10:29-31, the story reflects God’s call to trust Him with our worries, while Gray also weaves in essential lessons on empathy, drawn from verses like Proverbs 15:1 and Matthew 5:43-44. As Ellie learns that God values even the smallest sparrow, she finds peace and purpose in embracing love over fear. Gray’s message to children is simple: “God is with them, always caring, even in their anxieties.”

Now available for pre-order, Sparrows is set to become a cherished read for young hearts, offering lessons of love, compassion, and faith. Prepare to watch children soar with this beautiful tale that reminds them they are seen, loved, and held by a God who cares.
