Duck Dynasty stars debut new children’s book, Dear Valor

Duck Dynasty stars Jep and Jessica Robertson released a new children’s book, Dear Valor, from BRAVE Books that celebrates and encourages child adoption.

“Our youngest is adopted. We adopted him when he was three days old,” Jessica Robertson said of their son Gus Robertson who inspired the book.

In describing Dear Valor, Jessica said, “It’s about the trials you may face and teaching children about empathy on what it’s like in an adopted child’s life and their family.”

The children’s book was published by the up-and-coming Christian book publisher BRAVE Books. The story is about a tiger named Valor who is adopted by two lions who love him unconditionally. The story explores the “sweet” joys and challenges of adoption.

Jep Robertson explained to WMAL radio that he’s been told that if every church had just one family adopting a child, then “we wouldn’t have foster care.”
