CHARLOTTE, NC– The Good Book Company is excited to announce that it will publish best-selling author and Bible teacher Jen Wilkin’s debut book for children.
Just Like Me, a rhyming picture book that retells the story of the creation of the first man and woman in Genesis 2, will inspire kids by showing how wonderful it is that God made them to need each other and help each other.
Wilkin has a passion to see others become articulate and committed followers of Christ, with a clear understanding of why they believe what they believe, grounded in the Word of God. This book falls in line with her passion as she shares with children the biblical message of God’s good design for image-bearers.
“I’m thrilled to be publishing my debut children’s book with The Good Book Company,” said Wilkin. “It’s an honor to partner with a publisher so firmly committed to creating fun, gospel-centered resources for young learners.”
Carl Laferton, Executive Vice President of Publishing at TGBC, said, “It’s a joy and a privilege to partner with Jen on her first children’s title, especially as it highlights such a foundational truth for children to understand. Parents and children alike will love sharing precious moments with this book.”
Just Like Me is slated for a fall 2026 release. The Good Book Company acquired worldwide rights from Erik Wolgemuth at Wolgemuth & Wilson.
