Jamie Lee Curtis to Promote New Children's Book in Naperville

NAPERVILLE, IL — While many know her as America’s reigning scream queen, Jamie Lee Curtis is also an accomplished children’s author, and will be promoting her new book for kids in Naperville.

A very American story is at the heart of national bestselling author and actress Jamie Lee Curtis’ new book, “This is Me.” It’s the story of an immigrant girl who takes a deep look at her priorities in deciding what she will pack on her adventure moving to a new home across the sea. In many families, that was the case for ancestors long gone and for more recent newcomers too! Curtis has said she finds the inspiration for her writing all around her – in the experiences of her children, her godchildren, her friends – and of course in her own life.

Curtis visits Anderson’s Bookshop, 123 W. Jefferson Ave, in Naperville on Thursday, Sept. 22 at 4 p.m. to celebrate this, her latest picture book collaboration with illustrator Laura Cornell. Tickets are required and available at jamieleecurtisandersons.brownpapertickets.com.
