Trent Willmon fans have a new way to hear their man’s voice. Trent has narrated a book written and illustrated by his mother, Billie Willmon Jenkin.
The Knock-Kneed Cowboy: A Tale of Being “Just Right” … Just As We Are is a story of self-acceptance that Ms. Jenkin wrote for her sons when they were children. It was recently self-published. Says Trent’s mom, “Most people’s beliefs about their worth come from others’ opinions of them. I was determined that kids know that they don’t have to let others’ ideas about them become their own. I see the book as an adventure in self-acceptance and I’m delighted that Trent agreed to record this book. Even kids who are not terrific readers will be motivated to read along with Trent and will grasp exactly what I intended for them to.” Trent explains the story, “Casey is a knock-kneed cowboy who wants to be bow-legged like all his peers. When the book starts out, you think it’s just for elementary-school kids. But as you read on, you realize it’s a parable about all of us who feel ‘different.’ It’s a message – and a fun tale – for all ages.”
They say the apple doesn’t far fall from the tree; well, apples are falling from the Adkins tree.
Trace Adkins daughter, Mackenzie, is getting her first taste of performing in a stage production of the
Wizard of Oz in Tennessee. Ten-year-old Mackenzie is one of twelve students from the Franklin, TN, Ann Carroll School of Dance who are performing in the musical. She is a member of the school’s “Song and Dance Company” and will be playing the part of a Munchkin.
