Amerie, YOU WILL DO GREAT THINGS

Zibby is joined by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and book club founder Amerie to discuss You Will Do Great Things, a magical picture book about a young boy’s imagination and the unexplored worlds it takes him to. Amerie talks about her lifelong love of books, from a childhood spent at the military base library, to stacking shelves at Georgetown, to reading Harry Potter on her tour bus. Then, she describes how she got into writing (and became obsessed with it), how her son inspired her to write this book, and why diverse representation is so important in children’s literature. Finally, she introduces us to Amerie’s Book Club. (By the way, her April pick is If I Survive You by Jonathan Escoffery, who has been on MDHTTRB!!)Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: http://bit.ly/3GjkLSoPurchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/40Ohd2DSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
