Victoria Monét is set to release her first children’s book titled Everywhere You Are in June next year. The publication by Penguin Young Readers is expected to be available in English and Spanish.
It is described as “a lyrical and heartwarming story aimed to comfort children experiencing separation anxiety while offering solace to hardworking parents.”
Publishers say they intend to reach a broader audience, hence the decision to publish in both languages. It is said to be inspired by Monét’s own experiences as a working parent and reminds readers about the love between parent and child.
“This book means so much to me… It brings so much joy to know that families will share moments of reflection, understanding, and quality time while reading this book for generations to come! I’m passionate about the subject of the book and explaining it in a way that is digestible for a child,” Monét said in a statement and shared her excitement.
In June this year, Grammy Award Winner released a captivating video for her single titled Alright, a record off her Jaguar 2 album.
