On Nov. 1, Carey will release her children’s book, The Christmas Princess.
“The Christmas Princess is a fairytale for holiday lovers of all ages. Little Mariah represents my inner child believing in her own vision, she represents all children, especially those who feel like outsiders or ‘others,’ striving to believe in themselves,” said Carey.
“It was empowering to transform my childhood turmoil into a modern classic fairytale full of wonder and boundless hope.”
The Christmas Princess is co-written by Michaela Angela Davis and illustrated by Fuuji Takashi.
In December 2021, Carey’s modern holiday classic “All I Want For Christmas Is You” reached one billion streams on Spotify.
That wasn’t all. The song, which was originally released in 1994, was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), selling more than ten million equivalent units.
Additionally, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a third consecutive holiday season.
It made Billboard history as the first song to reach No. 1 in three separate chart runs (2019, 2020, 2021).
