Having already conquered music charts with hits like ‘Alright’ and ‘On My Mama,’ R&B diva Victoria Monet is undoubtedly looking to garner a similar response on the New York Times’ Best-Sellers List with her first children’s book ‘Everywhere You Are.’

To be printed in English and Spanish-language editions, ‘Everywhere’ will be released courtesy of Putnam Books for Young Readers – an imprint of Penguin Young Readers.

“I’m super excited to announce my first picture book, ‘Everywhere You Are,’ illustrated by Alea Marley,” Monét wrote on Instagram at the time of the book’s announcement. “I 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,” ‘Everywhere’ was inspired by Monet’s experiences with the difficulty of juggling superstardom with being a working mom.

“This book means so much to me! 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,” the 3-time GRAMMY winner shared. “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.”

‘Everywhere’ is slated to hit bookshelves on June 25, 2025, but can be pre-ordered here.
