Lainey Wilson is a singer, actress, and now…author? Not quite, but she did dip her toes into the publishing world. A new children’s book, “Howdy: Welcome To The Grand Ole Opry” by Emily Frans, is coming out this summer, and Lainey was tapped to write the forward for the picture book. In doing so, Lainey describes her first visit to the Opry as a child, and how she knew she wanted to perform there. “I dreamed about making my debut and standing in the circle where all my heroes have stood,” she wrote. She also told readers about joining the Grand Ole Opry last June. “Of all the blessings and accolades, this is my biggest accomplishment so far.” “Howdy: Welcome To The Grand Ole Opry” hits book stores and Kindles everywhere September 16.
