VICTORIA Monét has turned her Grammy Award-winning pen to writing her debut children’s book, Everywhere You Are
The lyrical picture book is set to publish June 24, 2025 in English and Spanish simultaneously, and aims to comfort children with separation anxiety and hardworking parents.
Monét, a mother-of-one, said she “wrote this book in honor of hard working parents wanting to offer a consoling reminder to their children that even when a loved one isn’t right next to us, the love you have for each other still carries so much presence!”
Described as “a lyrical and heartwarming picture book to comfort children experiencing separation anxiety while offering solace to hardworking parents,” the story follows “a gentle moon as it comforts a young star when they part ways at dawn.”
Monét expressed her excitement in a statement saying it had always been a “special dream” to write children’s books.
“This book means so much to me,” she said. “I love many types of writing from poetry to music, and eventually script and it has always been a special dream of mine to write children’s books. 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. I can’t wait to share it.”
Earlier this year, Monét won her first Grammy for Best New Artist at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, as well as awards for Best R&B Album for Jaguar II and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
The Atlanta native has also made her mark as a songwriter, boasting nine top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including seven for Ariana Grande, such as the No. 1 hits Thank U, Next and 7 Rings.
Everywhere You Are is now available for pre-order.
