Tori Amos Pens Children's Book

Grammy-winning artist Tori Amos is venturing into new literary territory with her debut children's book, Tori and the Muses. Scheduled for release on March 4 by the Penguin Workshop imprint of Penguin Random House, the book is illustrated by Demelsa Haughton. It chronicles the story of a young girl guided by 11 secret muses who uncovers a world filled with creative potential for budding artists.

Amos said in a statement, "In a time where children's minds are dominated by small screens, I really wanted to offer up a different way for the reader to find inspiration and magic, that is all around each of us." The book reflects her own experience of using muses to overcome creative limitations and allow art to flourish without fear of criticism. At 61, Amos is celebrated for hits like "Spark," "Professional Widow," and "A Sorta Fairytale." Her literary works include titles such as Piece by Piece and Resistance: A Songwriter's Story of Hope, Change, and Courage. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
