When I Grow Up

Al will have yet another thing besides Grammy Award winning musician, director, producer, and actor to add to his résumé — children’s book author. Al signed on with HarperCollins Children’s Books, to write his debut picture book, When I Grow Up.

Plot spoiiler warning:

With gleefully dizzying wordplay, an exuberant eight-year-old tells his patient teacher and amazed classmates about the astonishing variety of humorous and inventive careers he plans to pursue when he grows up.

It will be humorous and inventive, huh? It’s a departure, but I think he can pull it off! The book is currently scheduled to be released in March 2011, so, don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of time to finish reading Go, Dog. Go! before then.
