Jimmie Allen has added author to his growing list of achievements with his new children’s book, My Voice Is A Trumpet, available everywhere now.
Penned with veteran illustrator Cathy Ann Johnson, the new book celebrates the many types of voices that can affect change, and encourages kids to use their voice in positive ways. The book offers children confidence in the power of their voice from a young age and the knowledge that all voices are valuable.
“It’s very important to me that kids learn at a young age that they have a voice, and that it is powerful. It is up to us as adults to teach them to use their voice to encourage and show love,” shares Allen. “Being a father of two kids, I try to encourage them to be themselves and love everyone around them. I’m hoping this book inspires at least one child and they always remember their voice is a trumpet.”
Allen’s latest album, Bettie James Gold Edition, was released June 25 and doubles down on his expansive love for music across genres with nine brand new star-studded collaborations. It is a follow up to the success of its predecessor, Bettie James – named in honor of his late grandmother and late father – which was released July 2020 and has amassed 160+ million streams along with critical acclaim from the likes of NPR, Billboard, and Rolling Stone.
