It’s been almost thirteen years since Christina Perri released her chart-topping hit, “A Thousand Years,” and now, the singer and songwriter is turning the platinum-selling single into a children’s book . Officially released yesterday on Amazon , “A Thousand Years” is a photo-driven story (that was made in collaboration with viral illustrator Joy Hwang Ruiz) about the special bond a mother shares with her child.
“I am so grateful for the opportunity to have adapted ‘A Thousand Years,’ a song so dear to me, into a children’s book! It feels so right to read these words to my girls, so I hope you enjoy reading it to your little ones, too,” Christina Perri said in an official press release. “Thank you to Penguin Young Readers, Viking Books for Young Readers, and Joy Hwang Ruiz for bringing my story to life. I can’t wait to share it with you.
✨” The thirty-two-page book features bright, detailed drawings, a hardcover shell, and an inspiring message that mothers — and children — everywhere can relate to. Retailing for less than $18 on Amazon, this heartfelt release was created for readers under eight years old, but we think that it can be enjoyed by anyone of any age. Buy your copy on Amazon before it’s gone.
