Jars of Clay Lead Singer’s Book Hits Best Seller Lists

Written by Staff

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Just one week after its release, Dan Haseltine’s “The One, The Only, Magnificent Me” is rocketing up the charts of the book world, debuting as the #1 children’s book on the Spring Arbor Bestseller List and #9 for all Christian titles. 

Outside of the Christian market, the book is already #2 for illustrated children’s books and #47 for all books on the Top 100 Bestseller List at Ingram Book Group.
 
“The One, The Only, Magnificent Me” is written by Haseltine, lead singer for the band Jars of Clay, and is illustrated by Joel Schoon Tanis, award-winning artist and Emmy-winning host of the children’s television show, “Come On Over!”
 
Haseltine, who acknowledged that the story was autobiographical, was thrilled at the immediate reception for the book. “Joel and I worked very hard on it, putting so much energy and emotion into the book. The stores have been incredible and the teachers, parents, and children have been so supportive – it’s wonderful that they feel so strongly about it,” Haseltine said.

“The One, The Only, Magnificent Me” is available at all Target stores nationwide, as well as Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Christian and independent bookstores around the country.
