Chelsea Clinton to launch new picture book and nonfiction book series for kids
Chelsea Clinton wants kids to learn what they can do to help save the planet — one book at a time.
The best-selling author and mother of three will soon launch a new nonfiction book series about animal conservation for kids ages 6 to 9, Philomel Books, a kids’ lit imprint of Penguin Books, announced Friday.
Each volume of the “Save the…” series will focus on one animal, and teach young readers what they can do to help protect them.
Clinton will write introductions for each book.
The first three titles, which will be available on Sept. 13, are “Save the... Elephants,” by Sarah L. Thompson; “Save the... Tigers,” by Christine Taylor-Butler; and “Save the... Whale Sharks,” by Anita Sanchez.
“My hope is that young readers and their families will enjoy and learn as much from the books in this series as I have, whether about whale sharks, frogs or more animals that could disappear if we don’t all work together to save them,” Clinton said in a statement.
Publishing plans for the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, won’t stop there, according to her publisher.
Philomel Books also announced Friday that the 41-year-old author of the “She Persisted” children’s book series will soon publish a new book.
“Welcome to the Big Kids Club: What Every Older Sibling Needs to Know,” written by Clinton and illustrated by Tania de Regil, is being described as a “humorous book about what every older sibling needs to know, filled with information about the new baby at your house.”
“I couldn’t be more excited about this book and the newest ‘Save The’ series,” Clinton said.
The “Big Kids Club” book, directed at kids ages 4 to 8, will also be available on Sept. 13.
