September 26 - Elvis For Kids

Cherry Lake Publishing announced the ‏‎January 1, 2027 release of the 24-page children's book 'Elvis Presley' in their 'My Early Library: My Itty-Bitty Bio' series. 

The publicity for the book stated: Elvis Presley, also known simply as "The King," not only transformed popular music by blending genres that had largely been separated by the music industry, but he also was an early advocate for amplifying Black artists during a time of racial segregation. 

This early reader biography, aimed at children aged 5 - 6 years old, explores Elvis Presley's life and legacy in a simple, age-appropriate way. The My Itty-Bitty Bio series celebrates diversity, covering women and men from a range of backgrounds and professions who embody values that readers of all ages can aspire to.

The book can be pre-ordered from >>> Amazon.
