Kenya Moore’s children’s book, written with her 6-year-old daughter, sells out in 2 hours
Kenya Moore’s daughter Brooklyn celebrated a special birthday over the weekend. The reality star’s daughter turned six and have become a best-selling writer with her mother.
Not only did the couple write a children’s book, the primary for the mother and founding father of the hairdressing industry, but on Sunday, November 3, all the first edition of the title was released: “Toward Brooklyn: Paris”, originally sold out inside two hours on Amazon.
“We broke Amazon,” the 53-year-old former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star exclaimed in a video she uploaded from a birthday dinner in Brooklyn to Instagram.
Moore explained that the book was shared just a few hours before midnight on Brooklyn’s birthday, and around midnight she began receiving “signals” from other people. When she visited Amazon around 1 a.m., the book was “out of stock,” meaning all available copies had been sold.
“On the one hand, I’m very completely happy about it. But then again, I’m sad because so many individuals did not have the possibility to support Brooklyn on her birthday,” Moore noted.
Either way, she expressed her happiness in the post’s caption.
“Even though it was released today a few hours before her birthday, the bookstore is sold out and is showing as out of stock and out of stock! Thank you for supporting the young 6-year-old author and her dreams. We look forward to when (A)mazon restocks the book and will let you know as soon as we hear about it. Thank you, Team Twirl, for your love and support,” she wrote.
The book has already been accomplished and is offered at: Amazon AND Barnes and Noble.

While talking to People Magazine of her daughter, whom she shares with ex-husband Mark Daly, Moore gushed, “I’m very proud of Brooklyn.”
The actress added: “Part of being a mother is that you always want to give your child opportunities you never had. And for her to have this achievement as part of her legacy is a reminder that there are many things in her future that are beyond our imagination.”
The book, which Moore announced on Instagram as the primary in a series, tells the story of four-year-old Brooklyn, who takes readers on a journey through her favorite places in Paris during her birthday trip. According to Moore, the 2 have marked the occasion with a world trip yearly since Brooklyn’s first birthday.
“I always wanted Brooklyn to be exposed to different parts of the globe because I want her to be a global citizen,” Moore told the outlet. “I don’t desire her to be tight-lipped. I would like her to know that the world is larger than her backyard; larger than our lives in Atlanta.
Moore noted that young children have “a lot of things” to achieve from other cultures and that her daughter’s worldly experiences don’t just start and end with her mom.
“That’s one of the reasons I put her in an international school. And why I cook cuisine from a different place in the world for her every night. I never grew up like this, but I want to do better for my daughter,” she said.
As for the book series, Moore told People that she hopes it’s going to not only achieve success but will in the future be changed into an animated series.
“I haven’t really seen an animated series about a black girl her age and a single mother,” Moore said. “It gives me hope that maybe there is some opportunity there, especially in terms of travel.”
Moore hopes that in the near future, other children will pick up this book and find inspiration inside its pages.
“Reading opens the world to everything,” she said, adding: “There is a world of adventure hidden in the pages of books. “I also hope that other kids who may not be able to go to Paris or Kenya or wherever we end up will really feel like they’re there with Brooklyn, can learn from her, and dream of going there one day.” .
