Sheinelle Jones will write about motherhood in a book coming next year, People magazine reports.
G.P. Putnam’s Sons will publish the journalist’s Through Mom’s Eyes: Simple Wisdom from Mothers Who Raised Extraordinary Humans in the spring. The press describes the book as “an inspiring collection of heartfelt life-lessons from hard working moms who raised some of our favorite celebrities.”
Jones worked as a broadcast journalist for local television stations before joining the Today show in 2014; she is currently a co-host of the program. She hosts a segment on the show called “Through Mom’s Eyes,” in which she interviews the mothers of celebrities.
The segment is the inspiration for her book, she told People.
“I noticed after interviewing about 20 of them that I was taking all of these jewels and applying it to myself for my own kids, calling my girlfriends and being like, Can I tell you how Steph Curry's mom got him to do his chores?” she said.
Putnam says, “By combining behind-the-scenes insights from top celebrity mothers—such as the moms of Matthew McConaughey, Serena and Venus Williams, and Padma Lakshmi—with her own tales from the trenches of modern parenting, Sheinelle reveals how to make it through the hard parts of motherhood and still tap into the joys of it with empathy, generosity, and solidarity.”
Through Mom’s Eyes is slated for publication on April 15, 2025.
