Global Launch for Madonna

 

MadonnaPop superstar Madonna is planning a Harry Potteresque assault on book stores around the world for the launch of her first children's book.

The book, entitled 'The English Roses', will be published simultaneously in 30 languages and in 100 countries on September 15.

Her fame will undoubtedly help to sell the book which is the first in a series of five titles and the first published novel she has written.

Madonna will be in Paris to unveil the book which is the first of five volumes, each illustrated by a well-known illustrator.

Details of the highly anticipated book remain vague although it is known that the stories will be based on Hebrew texts that Madonna is studying from the Kabbalah religion.

She has previously expressed her to desire to write books that are deeper than the other "vapid and vacant" titles for youngsters.

The books publisher is quoted as saying that the book is about "feeling green with envy, blue with loneliness, pink with embarrassment, purple with rage and how to find true-blue friends."
