AceShowbiz - Prolific U.S. author James Patterson has written a new children's book based on Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine" hit.
The picture book, which spins a story for youngsters using the lyrics of the track, will be available in September 2020.
"As a longtime fan of Guns N' Roses, I'm thrilled to partner with the band in bringing their famed hit song to life on the page," Patterson said in a statement. "Sweet Child O'Mine is a story that I know kids will love reading and that parents will love singing along to."
Illustrated by Jennifer Zivion, the book was inspired by the daughter and niece of Guns N' Roses manager Fernando Lebeis, who adds, "My sister and I have been lucky to be able to watch our daughters - Maya and Natalia Rose - grow up while touring with the guys. We ourselves have been part of the 'GUNS family' for over 30 years... Being able to bring this into a children's print book is truly special and a fun milestone in our lives."
