Grammy Award-winning artist and songwriter Victoria Monét is set to debut her first children’s book, Everywhere You Are, next summer with Penguin Young Readers. Read more about the book, its illustrator and when it’s set to be released inside.

Published by Putnam Books for Young Readers, Everywhere You Are, is a lyrical and heartwarming story aimed to comfort children experiencing separation anxiety while offering solace to hardworking parents. The book will be available in both English and Spanish editions, ensuring its reach to a broader audience.

The story, beautifully illustrated by Alea Marley, follows a moon comforting a young star as they part ways at dawn, symbolizing the connection between parents and their children even when they’re not physically present. Inspired by Monét’s own experiences as a working parent, Everywhere You Are serves as a touching reminder of the enduring love between parent and child.

“This book means so much to me,” Monét shared in a statement. “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.”

The acclaimed singer and songwriter expressed her love for writing in all forms, sharing a special excitement about creating a work that can spark meaningful moments for families.

“I can’t wait to share it,” Victoria added.

Monét, who has been celebrated for her talents in songwriting and performing, including her breakthrough album Jaguar II, continues to push boundaries in her career. Her ability to connect with audiences through music is sure to translate seamlessly into her literary debut, as she explores themes of love, separation, and comfort in a way that resonates with children and parents alike.

Victoria’s exceptional career has already made her a household name in the music industry, and with this foray into children’s literature, she adds another dimension to her creative pursuits. Her unique perspective as both an artist and a mother brings authenticity to Everywhere You Are, making it a book that promises to be cherished by families for generations.
