Exclusive: Alyssa Milano lands deal for activism-themed children's book series
Alyssa Milano is channeling her activism in a new mode: children’s books.
EW can exclusively announce that Milano has signed a major book deal with Scholastic to publish a series entitled Hope, with the first volume slated for an Oct. 1, 2019 release. Illustrated by Eric S. Keyes, it’s described as an empowering fiction series centered on a spunky 11-year-old girl who seeks to create social change in her community.
“As a mother, I can’t think of a more important time to let kids know that their voice matters,” Milano said in a statement. “I’m so excited about my new character, Hope Roberts. She believes in dreaming big. She’s brave and strong and confident in her abilities — but she’s also a girl just trying to survive middle school. I’m thrilled to be working with Scholastic on this empowering book series and can’t wait for everyone to meet Hope.”
