RaeLynn shared the sweet story of her first-ever children book — featuring a little girl named after her adorable daughter, Daisy — that just made its debut. The country star named it after the song she wrote for Daisy, Raisin’ Me A Country Girl.
“Y’all know what America needs? For children to get back to growing up, playing in the dirt. Putting down their roots in their home place, singing songs and dancing, listening to stories about the olden days with their parents and grandparents and just having wholesome, clean fun life experience,” RaeLynn said in a video shared on Instagram on Monday (July 17), as she shared details about Raisin’ Me A Country Girl’s story. “That’s what my brand new book, Raisin’ Me A Country Girl, is about.”
“Especially since becoming a wife and a mama, I have such a heart to impact the generation coming up in a positive way. I wanted to write this precious book to highlight my experience growing up and now, how I hope our daughter and future kiddos will remember their childhood. The little girl in this book is even named Daisy in honor of this little baby girl. In this book, Daisy is a sundress-wearing, pink Jeep driving little girl who loves her pup-pup and isn’t afraid of a little mud. One day, pup-pup runs away and Daisy has to go searching for him with all the help of her little farm animal friends.”
Raisin’ Me A Country Girl is the latest project from RaeLynn that’s perfect for the next generation of country fans. She also recorded a song called “Shake Your Boots” on the 9-track Growin’ Up Country Vol. 1. The album also included country songs for kids by Brett Young, Mickey Guyton, Laci Kaye Booth and others. RaeLynn, who has also featured Daisy and her husband in her latest music videos, said when the album released last month that her daughter already lives country music and she “can’t wait to see so many kids make this record their anthem.”
“Y’all are going to love this book,” she said about Raisin’ Me A Country Girl. “It’s nostalgic, small-town America, and just a precious glimpse of what an all-American childhood should look like.”
