Pharrell Williams is a singer, producer, judge on The Voice, and now a children’s author.
Everyone else might be sick of the song “Happy,” but Pharrell Williams is going to milk it for all it’s worth. The singer of the song you haven’t been able to escape for over a year has signed a book deal inspired by the feel good hit.
The picture book entitled “Happy!” (why mess with a good thing?) is scheduled to come out in September and will showcase photographs of children across cultures “celebrating happiness.” It doesn’t stop there – three more books by Pharrell were negotiated with Putnam Books for Young Readers, a division of Penguin-Random House.
“I’m humbled by the global success of ‘Happy,’ but especially in awe of the song’s young fans,” Williams said in a press release announcing the deal. “My collaboration with Penguin allows me to continue a dialogue with these children in a fresh, new way. We’re both committed to feeding the curiosity of young minds with imagination.”
