Video: Natalie Portman talking about her book "Natalie Portman's Fables"

I love that Natalie Portman, a fellow bookworm, rewrote three of the classic fables which are wonderfully illustrated by Janna Mattia. This is an interesting video and I love when she she was talking about how when she was younger, she loved the books, The Babysitter's Club by Anne M. Martin and really wanted to talk to the author about adding a new character to the series.

If that's not a total bookworm move right there, I don't know what is. After you've watched the video, I posted the description for the book below.

Publication Date: October 20, 2020

Description:

Academy Award-winning actress, director, producer, and activist Natalie Portman retells three classic fables and imbues them with wit and wisdom.

From realizing that there is no “right” way to live to respecting our planet and learning what really makes someone a winner, the messages at the heart of Natalie Portman’s Fables are modern takes on timeless life lessons.

Told with a playful, kid-friendly voice and perfectly paired with Janna Mattia’s charming artwork, Portman’s insightful retellings of The Tortoise and the Hare, The Three Little Pigs, and Country Mouse and City Mouse are ideal for reading aloud and are sure to become beloved additions to family libraries.
