They act, sing, inspire and make you laugh. Brilliantly. That should be enough! But these über-talented people also write children’s books — ones that are amazing enough to keep on your kiddo’s nightstand and read again and again. Click through our gallery to discover the best reads from the coolest multi-hyphenates around.

“Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born” by Jamie Lee Curtis

About the Author: She’s Hollywood royalty, the daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Lee. She also starred in A Fish Called Wanda and True Lies. But your kids actually know her as one of their favorite authors!

About the Book: Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born is perhaps the seminal kid’s book on “where babies come from” when they’re adopted. It’s told with a matter-of-fact-ness and loads of love that make this a perfect explanation of adoption for kids who were adopted, and also for those who weren’t. Our next favorite book that Curtis wrote is definitely Today I Feel Silly and Other Moods That Make My Day -- a great book for talking about feelings.

Ages: 3 & up
