Thomas Nelson to publish new book My Little Girl about the special bond between a father and daughter

(Nashville, Tenn.) Thomas Nelson’s Children’s Division is proud to announce the acquisition of Tim McGraw and Tom Douglas’s first children’s book, My Little Girl, with a forward by Faith Hill, to be published in October 2008.

As a music superstar, Grammy award winner, movie star, husband and busy father of three daughters, Tim’s first priority has always been his family. It was this sentiment that brought Tim and Tom to write the hit song, “My Little Girl”. McGraw’s beautifully illustrated book is a delightful reminder that even ordinary days can be spectacular when you spend them with the ones you love.

Dad, his daughter, and their big white dog set out to spend an ordinary but turned extraordinary day together. From dancing by a duck pond to stopping to swinging in a tire swing, these two share lots of laughter and love in their time together. And as the sun sets Dad turns to his little girl and says, “I love you, my little girl.” to then hear her whisper in his ear, “love you more.”

My Little Girl truly celebrates what both Tim and Tom see as the simple moments that really matter and show that even the busiest of dad’s can have adventure time with their kids.

Tim McGraw is dad of three daughters, husband to Faith Hill, Country music superstar, Grammy Winner, American Music Award Winner, People’s Choice Winner, has the highest grossing tour in history (with wife, Faith Hill), and has sold more than 35 million albums. Yet, beneath all the accolades beats the heart of a dad who immensely loves his family. Hometown: Nashville, TN.

Tom Douglas is a singer-songwriter who graduated from Oglethorpe University and received an MBA from Georgia State University. Aside from “My Little Girl,” he is the writer of hits such as “Little Rock” by Collin Raye, “The Gift” by John Brickman, “Love’s the Only House” by Martina McBride, and “Grown Men Don’t Cry” by Tim McGraw. He and his wife have three children and reside in Nashville, TN.
