So I'm looking at a children's book. I love children's book. I know you do. Because we read all the time as our kids were growing up. I'm going to read you the first page. Oh you are.

Well I'm not going to do a voice or anything but I'm going to I mean I remember when I got the

PDF and I've I loved it from the start it says I sure hope you're wearing a belt because you're about to get the pants scared right off you. Get ready because I've got a story about some real bad guys.

I know I didn't do a good job reading.

Yeah, that's right.

So we've got the author right here, Jimmy Needham sitting there with his wife Kelly,

and have you ever written Children's book before?

This is my first kids book to write.

But can I out you though that you have sketched out kids books before?

I have. It has been an interest of yours since the day.

Well you have five kids.

I'm 11 years old in my inside so yeah that's right.

Which is interesting Jimmy because you're a seminary student, you're a pastor, you're recording artist,

you kind of have your hands in a lot of different things.

Yeah. But why a children's book?
