Former US first lady, Michelle Obama, has announced plans to release a young readers’ edition of her 2018 memoir Becoming.
She made the announcement via her Instagram page on Wednesday while revealing that the edition adapted for kids aged 10 and older, will be made available on March 2.
It will be re-released as a paperback with a new introduction and book club guide.
“My hope is that the young readers’ edition of Becoming can serve as a conversation starter for you. Maybe it’ll open up new dialogues with your children or grandchildren,” she wrote.
“Maybe you can use it as an opportunity to begin a book club with the young people you know or use it as an excuse to invite them into your existing book club.”
It also will include a special introduction for kids written by Michelle Obama herself and will contain three full-color inserts, as described by the book’s website.
“I look forward to hearing all about the discussions that these new editions of Becoming spark with your loved ones—and what kind of parallels young people might draw from my story to their own,” she added.
