Celebrity Children's Book Authors Your Youngsters Will Love

By Linda Ruiz


It seems that well-known individuals have many talents. There are so many that have become celebrity children's book authors. The variety of stories they have produced are charming and engaging as well as unique. The sale of these volumes is usually higher than regular editions because of the famous names attached to them.

Famous actress and a daughter to a famous actor, Jamie Lee Curtis has authored many books for the younger set. They include "Other Moods That Make My Day" and "Tell Me Again About the Day I Was Born." She uses Laura Cornell, a talented illustrator for these works who produces fantastic pictures to go with the story lines.

Dolly Parton, country and western singer, took one of her most famous songs, "Coat of Many Colors, " and converted into a delightful children's story, complete with artistic illustrations. The story is of a little girl from a poor family in Tennessee who has no coat to wear. Her mother makes one for her from various colors of scraps and rags. When the child goes to school in her newly sewn creation, the children mock and make fun of her. She ends the story by telling them how rich she is in that beautiful garment that her mother made just for her.

World-renowned adult author, James Patterson, broke his usual writing routine when he began writing for young children. His "Middle School" series is all about what it is like for this age group in school. His works have been placed on the New York Time's bestseller list many times and he has also won book awards in 2011 and again in 2012 for his original and ground-breaking books.

Tim McGraw, country and western singer, wrote two books, "My Little Girl" and "Love Your Heart, " for his daughter. The first is about spending the day with Dad and the second about being kind.

Movie star and model, Brooke Shields, is another surprising author. She wrote a story of a young girl who became a big sister to her new sibling. The book tells of how helpful she was in caring for the infant and how she thought and dreamed of how much fun they would have together when the baby was older. If you have a child in your life who is about to become a big brother or sister, this story would be perfect for them.

Rock star Madonna, winner of three Grammies and known for her hit singles "Like a Virgin" and "Material Girl, " is an unlikely juvenile author but she actually has several books that she has written for the younger set. These include titles such as "The Adventures of Abdi, " "Mr. Peabody's Apples, " "Yukov and the Seven Thieves, " and "The English Roses."

It is so amazing how these very talented individuals stretch themselves and their talents even further by writing these volumes for the younger crowd. They are well deserving of any recognition they can get for their many accomplishments, especially for the literary works that they have produced.
