Mariah Carey announced Wednesday, Jan. 12, that she’s releasing her very own children’s book, and of course it will be Christmas-related.
“The Christmas Princess is a fairytale for holiday lovers of all ages! Little Mariah represents my inner child believing in her own vision, she represents all children, especially those who feel like outsiders or ‘others’, striving to believe in themselves,” the singer said in an Instagram caption. “It was empowering to transform my childhood turmoil into a modern classic fairytale full of wonder and boundless hope.”
The story is co-written by Michaela Angela Davis, with original illustrations by Fuuji Takashi. It’s set to be released sometime this coming fall via Henry Holt Books for Young Readers.
The Christmas Princess follows Little Mariah, “who doesn’t have much and doesn’t want a lot,” reads the book description. Her only wish: “a peaceful and joyous holiday season.”
“Feeling outcast and alone, Little Mariah sets off on a wintry, wondrous journey,” the description goes on, “ultimately discovering the healing power of her voice to spread the spirit of Christmas at home and all around the world.”
If there’s one person who will make a great Christmas book, it’s Mariah Carey. We can’t wait for it to come out this fall.
