About the Author
Jimmie Allen is a platinum-selling American country music singer-songwriter who made history as the first Black artist to launch a career with two consecutive number one hits on country radio from his 2018 debut album Mercury Lane. Allen won New Male Artist of The Year at the 2021 ACM Awards. Jimmie's music features a cutting-edge mix of country, rock, R&B, and pop that draws upon the influence of his family and small-town upbringing. His latest release, Bettie James, is a star-studded collaboration EP named in honor of his late grandmother and late father. Allen lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with his fiancée and two children. My Voice Is a Trumpet is his first book. For more information, visit www.jimmieallenmusic.com.

Reviews
"The text urges children to speak up--show strength--yet also encourages loving, comforting others, and reminding all "we're Sisters and Brothers" who have faces of diverse races and ethnicities. VERDICT A suggested first choice for libraries, the rhythm and flow of words perfectly match the art while advising readers to choose love and use their voices in a powerful song." --School Library Journal (starred review)

"Johnson supplements the lyrical text with soft-hued, gently textured art, featuring a cast inclusive across ability, age, hair texture, skin color, and religion that occasionally mirrors the text and occasionally diverges. This short, optimistic picture book urges children to steward their voices well." --Publishers Weekly
