Ani Di Franco has some life thoughts to share — for kids.
Rise x Penguin Workshop, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers, announced Wednesday that the Grammy winning singer-songwriter's debut picture book “The Knowing” is coming out March 7, 2023. The publisher calls the book an invitation for “young readers to ponder the distinction between outer forms of identity and the inner light of consciousness.”
“I always relish a new challenge and creative adventure in life," Di Franco said in a statement. "Making a book for young readers was one such.

The book includes illustrations by Julia Mathew, who sets her work on “The Knowing” in her native India.
