Life Coach and Author Jackie Wallace Launches Children’s Book Vinny’s World Tour – An Adventure in Imagination 

More than just a story, the book features the uplifting “Secret Map Challenge” — a heartwarming family tradition that nurtures imagination, hope, and togetherness.

LAPEER, MI — October 26, 2025 — Entrepreneur, life coach, and podcaster Jackie Wallace is thrilled to announce the release of her newest children’s book, Vinny’s World Tour – An Adventure in Imagination — a beautifully illustrated story that inspires children to dream without limits and believe in their own creative power.

“Everything I write, whether for kids or adults, carries a message of hope and possibility,” said Wallace. “That comes straight from my own journey — overcoming setbacks, chasing dreams, and navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.”

Inspired by her grandson Vinny, the story follows a curious young boy who uses his Secret Map to travel anywhere his imagination dares to go. What began as a personal story written just for him quickly evolved into a heartfelt book with a universal message about courage, creativity, and pursuing the “impossible.”

To extend the message beyond the story, Wallace created The Secret Map Challenge, a simple yet meaningful yearly tradition that helps families connect, dream together, and document their children’s imagination over time.

✨ The Secret Map Challenge ✨

How It Works:
Each year on your child’s birthday, have them create a colorful “Secret Map” filled with dreams, goals, and imaginative ideas for the year ahead. Display it somewhere they can see daily to keep their sense of wonder alive. When the next birthday arrives, tuck the old map away in a special folder and start anew — capturing another chapter of their growing imagination.

By the time your child turns 18, you’ll have a priceless keepsake — a time capsule of creativity, confidence, and growth. More importantly, you’ll have created a cherished family tradition that fosters hope and togetherness.

“The Secret Map Challenge is intended to help families build a legacy of belief and hope,” Wallace explained. “It’s more than just a craft — it’s a bonding experience that strengthens family values and encourages children to believe in what’s possible.”
