From a Grandfather’s Saddle to Children in Need: Cowboy Jim Brings a Real American Story of Hope to Kids

Locally and Worldwide

Abilene, Tx/Fairview, TN - Childrens book author Allie Davis is launching her new children’s book Cowboy Jim on Kickstarter March 31st, sharing a story rooted in real American values with kids across the United States and around the world.

Inspired by her grandfather, Jim Alexander—a real-life West Texas cowboy from Abilene who passed in 2022—Cowboy Jim tells a story of perseverance, courage, and doing the right thing even when it’s hard. While grounded in the legacy of the American West, the book is designed to resonate with children everywhere, including families here at home. The book launches May 28th, and the Kickstarter starts March 31. 

Alongside the book launch, Davis is leading a mission to place copies of Cowboy Jim into the hands of children facing difficult circumstances. Through personal connections, initial outreach will focus on children affected by conflict in Israel, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates, with a broader goal of reaching children in need regardless of location.

“This isn’t about politics—it’s about kids,” Davis said. “I was raised on the kind of values my grandfather lived out every day—grit, kindness, and doing the right thing. Cowboy Jim is a way to pass that on, whether it’s to a child here in the U.S. or one facing incredibly hard circumstances elsewhere.”

The Cowboy Jim Kickstarter invites supporters to join in sharing a story that begins with a real Texas cowboy and extends into a mission of encouragement, resilience, and hope for children everywhere.

Additionally the campaign allows for sponsorships of books for local classrooms and nonprofits. An anonymous donor has chosen to donate books to West Texas Rehab Center in honor Jim Alexander’s memory. Key Chiropractic in Fairview, Tenn., has sponsored a case of books for a local school, and these sponsors are only the first few! Others are signing up daily.

While Davis resides in Fairview, TN with her family, she visits Abilene often and will be coming for launch events at Texas Star Trading Co on May 29th and Frontier Texas on May 30th.
