For context, the book is described as a “retelling” of the live-action The Little Mermaid film. A live-action remake premieres in late May and features Bailey in the leading role.

The White House Was Apparently THE Place To Be For Easter!
Speaking of the White House Easter festivities, we should note that Halle Bailey isn’t the only star who celebrated the springtime holiday with the Bidens.
Dr. Wendy Osefo of The Real Housewives of Potomac shared a photo of her family attending the colorful Easter Egg Roll event. She noted that the experience was “EGG-ceptional.”
Her post also showed that Shamea Morton of The Real Housewives of Atlanta — who recently welcomed a baby girl via surrogacy — was at the event, too.
Notably, ahead of the Easter Egg Roll, President Joe Biden dished on the prospect of running for reelection, according to AP News.
Biden initially declared that he plans to partake in “at least three or four more Easter Egg Rolls, maybe five.” He told Al Roker, “I’m planning on running, Al, but we’re not prepared to announce it yet.”
Shoutout to Halle Bailey!
