“There’s no greater way this could ;have happened because honestly this book is for you,” he told the kids. “The book is for you and your friends and it’s an iteration of a song that I had a couple years back but I think more than anything else… Having it in book form allows for you guys to get the worth of the lyrics.”
One young journalist asked ;Williams ;why he decided to write a children’s book.
“I’m still a big kid and I don’t wanna lose that,” Williams said. “So in order to not lose it, one has to continue to do things that is fun and you have to continue to give back to what’s given you so much, which is the kids. You guys have given me so much… That’s why I wanted to do it for you guys.”
