Elizabeth, 32, said in a statement: “Robbie and I couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce the world to Hattie Harmony. Inspired by the picture books we adored as kids, we hope that Hattie will become a friend and a welcomed reminder to be kind to yourself and to each other.
“We couldn’t have brought Hattie’s world to life without Marissa Valdez’s imaginative illustrations. In the words of Hattie Harmony … ‘Worry, Worry, Go Away… There’s No Time For You Today.’ ”
‘Hattie Harmony: Worry Detective’ will be the first book in Elizabeth and Robbie’s series of children’s titles.
