River Rose and the Magical Christmas follows the titular character as she goes on a dreamy adventure to the North Pole to deliver her Christmas wish list to Santa Claus.

According to the HarperCollins website, “This joyous new holiday story perfectly captures the spirit of the season and comes complete with a link for readers to listen to a brand-new, original Christmas song written and performed by Kelly Clarkson herself.”

Clarkson announced her second book on Twitter with a video of a mock press conference.

In the video, Clarkson explained that she chose the Christmas theme because her daughter loves the holiday.

“She’s at such a fun age,” the singer said. “She just gets so excited about it that I thought it would be a fun book honestly for her to get to read.”
