A sweet reminder in time for Father’s Day, Rory Feek releases The Day God Made You
Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter releases new children’s book, Tuesday, June 16
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.
“We often forget that out of the billions of people that are in the world, each one of us is uniquely made, with our own unique features, personalities and lives that we will live,” said Rory Feek. “And what’s even more remarkable is that God knew all these things the day He made us.”
Delightful rhymes and a powerful message of love make this the perfect parent-child read for families. Children and their parents will enjoy cuddling up together to discover how God delighted over each and every detail of their lives and personalities as He created them--from the shape of their eyes to the sound of their laughter.
“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.
Your children or grandchildren will love cuddling up with you to discover how God delighted over each and every detail of their lives and personalities as He created them--from the shape of their eyes to the sound of their laughter. The Day God Made You also reminds young readers that God knew their families, their friends, their tears, their gifts, and even their dreams and hopes from the very beginning.
The Day God Made You is a beautiful reminder to all children--including all races, different abilities, and those with special needs--that God created them with purpose and love. And with its gentle words about God's personal care, you and your children will find comfort and affirmation in remembering that God delights in who He created you to be.

Once Upon a Farm
Sometimes it’s not only what we plant but where we’re planted.
Now raising their four-year-old daughter, Indiana, alone, after Joey’s passing, Rory Feek digs deeper into the soil of his life and the unusual choices he and his wife, Joey, made together and the ones he’s making now to lead his family into the future.
When Rory Feek and his older daughters moved into a run-down farmhouse almost twenty years ago, he had no idea of the almost fairy-tale love story that was going to unfold on that small piece of Tennessee land . . . and the lessons he and his family would learn along the way.
Now two years after Joey’s passing, as Rory takes their four-year-old daughter Indiana’s hand and walks forward into an unknown future, he takes readers on his incredible journey from heartbreak to hope and, ultimately, the kind of healing that comes only through faith.
A raw and vulnerable look deeper into Rory’s heart, Once Upon a Farm is filled with powerful stories of love, life, and hope and the insights that one extraordinary, ordinary man in bib overalls has gleamed along the way.
As opposed to homesteading, this is instead a book on lifesteading as Rory learns to cultivate faith, love, and fatherhood on a small farm while doing everything, at times, but farming. With frequent stories of his and Joey’s years together, and how those guide his life today, Rory unpacks just what it means to be open to new experiences.
“This isn’t a how-to book; it’s more of a how we, or more accurately, how He, God, planted us on a few acres of land and grew something bigger than Joey or I could have ever imagined.”
