“So excited to announce that my new children’s book Always With You, Always With Me will eb available everyone on April 26,” said Rowland.

According to Penguin Random House, the synopsis of the book reads, “Grammy Award–winning artist Kelly Rowland and educator Jessica McKay have crafted a lyrical celebration of working moms everywhere and a soothing story for their children.

“As a mother gets ready to go to work, first she works on building the world for her child. Because it can sometimes be hard to be separated during the day, Mom collects some simple words that she and her child can repeat whenever they are missing each other or feeling overwhelmed:

“Always with you, always with me, mommy and child, together we’ll be.

“For any child who needs a little reassurance or just to share a sweet gesture of affection, Always with You, Always with Me is a loving tribute to families that honors the work a mother does both inside and outside of the home.”

The 41-year-old singer has made many headlines across the country alongside South African radio DJ Anele Mdoda after Anele made claims on one of her radio segments that Rowland is not much of a good looking person when she is not wearing any makeup.

Mdoda’s comments on Kelly’s physical appearance soon became a trending topic on social media, going as far as reaching Kelly Rowland as well as American Twitter.
