Kristin Chenowethhopes to inspire kids around the world to be kind and loving with her first children’s book,What Will I Do with My Love Today?
The heartwarming story, available for purchase March 8, 2022, is a sweet tale about a young girl named Kristi Dawn, who shares her love through acts of generosity around New York City.
“As a child of adoption, I wanted to write a book about what it was like for me to rescue a dog,” Chenoweth tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I don’t think it’s all that different. It’s you love who you love, and you pick your family sometimes and sometimes it’s nature versus nurture. In my case, I got the right parents and in my dog Thunder’s case, she definitely got the right parent.”
