Jimmy Fallon will sing the praises of grandmothers in his next picture book for children, People magazine reports.
Macmillan imprint Feiwel and Friends will publish the Tonight Show host’s Nana Loves You More next spring. The book will be illustrated by Miguel Ordóñez, who collaborated with Fallon on four previous children’s books, including Your Baby’s First Word Will Be Dada and Everything Is Mama.
“We couldn’t love Jimmy Fallon more,” Feiwel and Friends publisher Jean Feiwel said. “This is a sweetheart of a story for grandmas everywhere.”
An Amazon page for the book teased an excerpt: “How much does Nana love you? / More than the moon? More than the stars? / More than all of the planets by far!”
In a 2019 interview, Fallon told USA Today that his first book with Ordóñez, Your Baby’s First Word Will Be Dada, started off as “kind of a goof.”
“People come up to me and they’re like, ‘My kid has been chewing on your book for the last four months.’ They’re not reading it but they’re eating it,” Fallon said. “I really love it, and I think you can get as creative as you want.”
Nana Loves You More is scheduled for publication on March 29, 2022.
