Chiquis Rivera’s New Venture
Chiquis Rivera, the renowned Latin Grammy Award winner and television personality, has recently revealed her debut children’s book titled The Girl Who Sings to Bees. This literary project is inspired by her relationship with her late mother, the beloved singer Jenni Rivera, who passed away in 2012.
A Heartfelt Story for Young Readers
The book, co-written with Lissette Norman and illustrated by Geraldine Rodríguez, is set to be published on July 15, 2025. It will be available in both English and Spanish, reaching a broad audience. Targeting children aged 4-8, The Girl Who Sings to Bees follows a girl named Janney, who cherishes singing in her grandmother’s garden with her mother. After her mother’s departure, Janney faces difficulties, including bullying, which stifles her ability to sing.
The Message Behind the Book
Chiquis aims to convey a powerful message through this touching narrative. The story encourages children to embrace their feelings and reminds them of the healing that remembrance can offer after loss. Chiquis shares her experiences with bullying to empower young readers to overcome adversity, asserting, “If I did it, they can, too.” Moreover, Rivera emphasizes the importance of kindness and empowerment, hoping to inspire the next generation through her work.
This book is not just a tribute to her mother, but also a beacon of hope for children navigating their own challenges. With The Girl Who Sings to Bees, Chiquis hopes to instill confidence, resilience, and the courage to pursue dreams, no matter the obstacles.
