Monét shared her excitement with fans via Instagram, writing, “WOW!! I’m super excited to announce my first picture book, Everywhere You Are, illustrated by Alea Marley.”
She explained the inspiration behind the book, stating, “I wrote this book in honor of hard working parents wanting to offer a consoling reminder to their children that even when a loved one isn’t right next to us, the love you have for each other still carries so much presence! Preorder your copy today #LinkInBio Official release in June 2025!”
The book, set to be officially released on June 24, 2025, will be available in both English and Spanish. According to a description of the book, Everywhere You Are is a melodic picture book where “a gentle moon comforts a young star as night ends and they separate.”
Paired with the whimsical and imaginative art of Alea Marley, ‘Everywhere You Are’ reminds us that even when someone isn’t right next to us, their love still carries on in our hearts.”
Ruta Rimas, Senior Executive Editor and Publishing Director at Putnam Books for Young Readers said in a statement that, “Victoria Monét’s exceptional talent and skill as a world-class songwriter translates perfectly to the picture book format.”
“She’s a natural creative writer and brings a special perspective as a working parent to the page, something so many of us – including myself – deeply connect with. This unique take on love and separation is a salve to soothe our kiddos and our hearts, too, and a book that can be read time and time again,” she concluded.
Monét shares a three-year-old daughter, Hazel, with her ex, John Gaines. As a working parent herself, she knows firsthand the challenge of comforting a child when you’re away for work. Monét commented,
“This book means so much to me! I love many types of writing from poetry to music, and eventually script, and it has always been a special dream of mine to write children’s books,” Monét commented.
