River Rose and the Magical Lullaby

River Rose and the Magical Lullaby is a children's picture book written by American singer Kelly Clarkson, first published by HarperCollins on October 4, 2016.

Illustrated by Laura Hughes, the story centers on a little girl who was too ecstatic to fall asleep on the eve of her first trip to the zoo.

But when she is too excited to fall asleep the night before, it takes a magical lullaby from her mom to send her off on a dream and musical adventure—soon River Rose is hopscotching with the hippos, slip-sliding with the penguins, and dancing with the big brown bears.

[3] Believing that her daughter was too young to be able to remember the places they visited, she wrote a variety of short stories to accompany a set of photographs she had filmed during their trips abroad for future use.

The words flow off your tongue, making it much more pleasant to read the same book a million times" and "the rhymes never once lean toward the cheesy side".
