Ryan Seacrest just gave an update on one of his new career ventures, and he recruited some loved ones to help him do it!
The American Idol and incoming Wheel of Fortune host is releasing a picture book with his sister Meredith this fall, and he decided to share a bit more behind the collaboration. As Ryan posted a photo of him, Meredith and his niece Flora holding a copy of The Make-Believers on August 9 on Instagram, he disclosed the inspiration behind the duo's children's title (out on October 8).
"Growing up, my sister Meredith and I constantly used our imaginations to dream big and travel far," he wrote in the caption. "Fast forward a few decades, we’ve written a picture book about using imagination to propel you into the future of your dreams. Check out THE MAKE-BELIEVERS, on sale this October! It’s Flora approved. #NationalBookLoversDay."
Given how Ryan is careful about showing his niece on social media, fans loved seeing the surprise update featuring Flora.
"Awesome!! Can’t wait!! Flora is beautiful!! ❤️," one person wrote. "Congrats to you and your sister on the book! 👏👍 Flora is getting tall and so adorable! 😊," another remarked. "Congrats!! So great that you all wrote a child's book!! ❤️ Such great talent!! Flora is so pretty and growing up!! ❤️," a different follower added.
While there is still time before The Make-Believers hits shelves, Ryan and Meredith are thrilled about this joint venture together. As they told People back in March, they're excited to bring important elements from their childhood into young readers' hearts.
"The idea behind The Make-Believers is so important to us, as it was inspired by our own childhood growing up just outside of Atlanta," the siblings told the outlet at the time. "We both wondered what life was like beyond our everyday surroundings and from a young age, we discovered that our imaginations doubled as tools to dream big and travel far."
