River Rose and the Magical Lullaby is a forthcoming children's picture book written by American singer Kelly Clarkson, set to be first published by HarperCollins on October 4, 2016. Illustrated by Laura Hughes, the story centers on a little girl who was too ecstatic to fall asleep on the eve of her first trip to the zoo.

Premise

It's a big day for River Rose as she is about to visit the zoo. But when she is too excited to fall asleep the night before, it takes a magical lullaby from her mom to send her off on a dream and musical adventure—soon River Rose is hopscotching with the hippos, slip-sliding with the penguins, and dancing with the big brown bears.[1]

Background and publication

River Rose and the Magical Lullaby was inspired by Clarkson's daughter,[2] whom she took to various international locations—such as Vietnam, the United Kingdom, and Australia, while in the midst of a promotional campaign for her seventh studio album, Piece by Piece in 2015.[3] Believing that her daughter was too young to be able to remember the places they visited, she wrote a variety of short stories to accompany a set of photographs she had filmed during their trips abroad for future use.[3] Clarkson later developed those stories into a picture book,[4][5] in which she remarked that she hoped that other children can also be inspired by it and know they that can achieve anything.[6]

On February 9, 2016, David Linker of HarperCollins acquired the worldwide publishing rights for the book from the Creative Artists Agency, which it plans to publish on October 4, 2016.[1][7] HarperCollins had also announced an original lullaby recording written and performed by Clarkson to accompany the book in its release.[1][8]
