The picture-book, published by Random House, was released on September 29 in both English and Spanish and is targeted to readers aged three to seven-years-old.

Speaking to PeopleEmme—whom Lopez shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony—revealed the book is about the “power of prayer” which has been a part of her life since she was five-years-old. 

Emme’s children’s book also incorporates her love of animals, mainly sloths, as well as aims to raise awareness about animal extinction with illustrations by Brenda Figueroa.

“In school, I learned about sloths and how they’re facing extinction, so I began to pray for them in my nightly prayers,” she said in a statement. “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.”
