Pop star Madonna has signed a deal with publisher Penguin
to write five children's books, the first of which will
be entitled The English Roses.
Each of the picture books will be aimed at the aged six
and above age range. Six different celebrated illustrators
will be commissioned for each book.
John Makinson of Penguin Books said "Penguin is delighted
to be working with Madonna on this distinctive and exciting
publishing venture," he added that "Madonna is
an artist with a universal appeal and these books will touch
children of all backgrounds everywhere in the world."
The first of the five books to be published, 'English Roses',
will be published in hardback in September 2003.
