Coming this September Guns N’ Roses will release their first children’s book in both hardcover and e-book formats.
People magazine is reporting that the book ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ was created by Guns N’ Roses and James Patterson and uses the lyrics of the song of the same name by GNR to spin a narrative perfect for little readers.
According to Blabbermouth the book was inspired by Maya and Natalia Rose’s adventures, who are one of Guns N’ Roses’ manager Fernando Lebeis daughter and the other his sister’s girl, who grew up while the band was touring with the band.
Jennifer Zivion illustrates the book as seen below in the latest tweet from the band.
