Children’s music star Laurie Berkner will publish three picture books with Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing.
We Are the Dinosaurs, based on one of Berkner’s most popular songs, will release in spring 2017 and will be illustrated by Ben Clanton. Pillowland, a lullaby destined to become a bedtime book, is due out in fall 2017 and will be illustrated by Camille Garoche. Monster Boogie, a hit at Berkner’s live shows, is scheduled for summer 2018, also to be illustrated by Ben Blanton.
Laurie Berkner’s latest album, Laurie Berkner’s Favorite Classic Kids’ Songs, hits stores this month. Berkner is widely recognized as a pioneer in the “kindie” music genre.
