Pharrell's releasing a children's picture book inspired by 'Happy' later this year

Pharrell

Cropped trouser enthu­si­ast Pharrell Williams will release a children's picture book based around his sleeper hit, 'Happy', it's been announced.

The 'Gust Of Wind' hitmaker has 'inked' a deal with Putnam Books for Young Readers for four picture books with the first one called, you've got it, Happy.

The book will be out on September 22 and will just be a load of pho­to­graphs of children from all over the world "cel­eb­rat­ing what it means to be happy".

Apparently the first order will be for 250,000 copies, which sounds optim­istic but who knows.

As we no doubt don't need to remind you, Pharrell released a book last year in asso­ci­ation with Tipp-Ex and Bic pens that was basically blank. :(
