Brooke Shield’s Children’s Book
Brooke Shields, 43, rose to fame as a child model and actress is set to publish her first book on Tuesday next week. The children’s book, a 145 word story is called the “Welcome to your World, Baby”, written through the eyes of her five-year old daughter Rowan, and how she ha
d eagerly anticipated the arrival of younger sister Grier, now aged 2.
Shields struggled with postpartum depression after the birth of Rowan. As she looks back over writing the short story, she said she found it more difficult than the pain she went through during that time. She also compares writing the book to to writing her memoirs “Down Came the Rain”, again saying the children’s book was the hardest to write. She explained that when writing a children’s book so much has to be said in the drawings and all has to explained in just one or two lines.
The actress is starting filming this week of the second season of “Lipstick Jungle” on NBC, and she has recently finished her second children’s book, a story of two little girls who get to spend alone time with their father and dog.
