Kelly Rowland has a new children’s book on the way. Always with You, Always with Me, co-written by Rowland and Jessica McKay, is described as “a loving ode to modern motherhood.”
Featuring illustrations by Fanny Liem, the book follows a working mom as she strives to be equally present inside and outside of the home.
When she’s at work and building a life for her children outside of their sight, simple words, identical to a song, will let them know she isn’t as far as they think: “Always with you, / Always with me, / Mommy and child / Together we’ll be.”
So excited to announce that my new children’s book, #AlwaysWithYouAlwaysWithMe, will be available everywhere on April 26! 📖✨

Kirkus Reviews noted, “This book will resonate with any mom who knows the heartache of having to say goodbye to their child or who has faced the teary-eyed frustration of a youngster experiencing separation anxiety.”

It’s the mother of two’s second book, following 2017’s Whoa, Baby!: A Guide for New Moms Who Feel Overwhelmed and Freaked Out (and Wonder What the #*$& Just Happened.
