About the Author
Wanda Kay Gray
Songwriter. Singer. Author. Speaker. Educator.
Wanda Kay Gray is a Christian songwriter, singer, author, speaker, and educator whose life and ministry are dedicated to sharing the love of Jesus Christ.
Wanda gave her heart to Jesus at the age of five. At ten, she began singing and writing songs with her family, The Gray Family, traveling throughout the Southeast to share the Gospel through music. She later began a solo ministry and has continued singing with other musicians and groups over the years. Her original songs have been recorded with producers Anthony Burger and Otis Forrest. Wanda believes music can reach hearts, bring comfort, encourage faith, and point people to Jesus.
Wanda is a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and she treasures the joy and blessing her family brings to her life.
Wanda loves being a Christian author, as well. Her books include The Squirrel Tree Stories, created to encourage children and families in faith, kindness, courage, and wise choices, and Jesus Is Calling You Back, a devotional for readers seeking to return to Christ. She has also written about American history and dinosaurs from a biblical perspective.
For more than 35 years, Wanda has taught students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. She helped establish a Christian school and continues to serve as an educator and administrator, cherishing the time she spends with her students.
Whether she is singing, writing songs and books, speaking, or teaching, Wanda's desire is to share the Gospel and point others to Jesus. Her life's mission is a ministry of reconciliation, and Jesus is the love of her life.
A Mission Rooted in Proverbs 22:6
"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."
Proverbs 22:6
Every book Wanda writes is an act of faith — a belief that the stories we give children become part of who they are. The Squirrel Tree Stories series is her offering to families who want their children's bookshelves filled with beauty, truth, and the love of God.
