(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) August 26, 2022 — Jeremy and Jinger Vuolo (with illustrator Naomi C. Robinson) have released their first children’s picture book through WorthyKids, an imprint of Hachette Book Group. YOU CAN SHINE SO BRIGHT (ISBN: 9781546013815) released on August 23, 2022. Based on the fruits of the Spirit found in Galatians 5, the message of the book shows children what living by faith looks like.
From their experience appearing on TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On, the Vuolos are known for living out their faith and family values. With this release, they hope to now bring those values to the next generation.
“You Can Shine So Bright! has a singular message,” says Jeremy Vuolo, “that through the love of Jesus you can make a huge impact in the world.” The book is dedicated to their daughters, Felicity Nicole and Evangeline Jo. “Evy Jo is into the pictures,” says Jinger. “Felicity is enjoying reading about the different scenes. We wanted it to be a book that captivated kids, so to see our two little girls get so into it is exciting.”
“Our children are watching us,” Jinger continues. “They are learning primarily from their experience of our actions. It’s our desire to teach them profound truth in a simple way, and then to show how that truth affects their parents lives and can affect theirs as well.”
Even small actions can have a big impact. The book shows how sharing toys, picking flowers for a neighbor, and waiting patiently in line are all ways to demonstrate God’s love and grow to be more like Him. The final verse of the book shares that desire:
“God, help me to be more like you. I really want to be. I want to let your love shine bright, for all the world to see.”
YOU CAN SHINE SO BRIGHT is now available wherever books are sold. For publicity inquiries and review copy requests, please contact Cat Hoort at Catherine.Hoort@hgbusa.com.
