Barbra Streisand Becomes Children's Author
The picture book follows a grandparent-grandchild pair and carries a message of discovery, self-expression, self-reliance and love, Streisand said.
- Barbra Streisand announced her first children's picture book, scheduled for release on March 30, 2027, expanding her creative repertoire beyond music and memoir.
- Inspired by reading picture books to her three grandchildren, Streisand wrote the book to "engage and stimulate young minds." She stated she loves being "Gamma Barbra," a nickname that influenced the title.
- Illustrated by Paige Keiser, the story follows a grandparent and grandchild on a "dazzling day" as they "contemplate life's most important truths." Streisand described the message as "one of discovery, self-expression, self-reliance and of course, love."
- Flamingo Books, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers, will publish the title, currently available for preorder following the success of Streisand's 2023 autobiography, My Name Is Barbra.
- With five Emmys, 10 Grammys, two Oscars, and a Tony award earned over six decades, Streisand can now add "children's book author" to her extensive resume.
