Jennifer Lopez’s Daughter, Emme, Is About to Be a Published Author
Emme Muñiz, the girl who captivated a nation with her Super Bowl performance (and who just so happens to be the daughter of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony), is adding a new bullet point to her resume: children’s book author. The 12-year-old is releasing a children’s book with Random House, titled Lord Help Me, before she even hits high school.
“In school, I learned about sloths and how they’re facing extinction, so I began to pray for them in my nightly prayers,” Muñiz said in a statement on Wednesday. “I wrote this book to help raise money to save sloths while also teaching other children how we can pray and ask for help, two things that bring me a lot of comfort.”
“We all have moments every day where we can use a little help,” reads a press release for Lord Help Me. “Some are small, like waking up for school or getting along with a sibling. Others are big, like helping to save the planet and all its creatures—especially sloths! But asking God for help always brings us the strength to get through anything. Emme Muñiz shares her own daily prayers to offer families a way to embrace the peace and power of everyday faith.”
The book will be published in both English and Spanish on September 29. And if we’re still dealing with the devastating effects of the COVID-19 crisis by then, an extremely earnest children’s book aimed at protecting sloths—scientifically the cutest animal on the face of the earth—sounds like exactly what we’ll need. After all, how many times can you read your kids Dragons Love Tacos before fully going around the bend?
