From ‘1 Thing’ to ‘You Will Do Great Things,’ singer-songwriter Amerie has a few new things on the horizon.
While longtime fans have pined for more music from the GRAMMY nominee (as she’s not released a body of work since 2018), it seems they’ll have to wait a little while longer as the diva’s traded in her songwriting pen for authorship.
Having transformed her social media handles to a popular book club, the 42-year-old’s Instagram has become a go-to spot for people wanting reviews on the hottest novels of all genres to hit the shelves.
Already a best-selling author herself, Amerie is looking to expand her growing oeuvre by adding her first children’s picture book to the mix of those hot new offerings. Details inside.

Taking to IG Tuesday (August 9), Miss Rogers stunned her 439,000 followers by announcing she’d teamed with Macmillan Children’s/Roaring Brook Press to publish her first children’s picture book, ‘You Will Do Great Things.’
‘Things’ comes as a tale about “a young boy’s imagination takes off as he gazes at family photos, whisking him off on a fantastical journey. Along the way, the boy tries exciting and bold new things, ventures into unexplored worlds, and forms deep connections with his multicultural heritage and the ancestors who imbue him with the strength and courage to make a difference.”
Featuring illustrations by Raissa Figueroa, ‘Things’ will land on shelves March 28, 2023. It’s already available for pre-order.

Amerie is the latest R&B diva to announce a foray into the realm of children’s books.
Just last month Ashanti unveiled the empowering ‘My Name is a Story‘ book (as we reported here). Before her, Kelly Rowland won rave reviews for her latest children’s tale ‘Always With You, Always With Me.’
