Many famous individuals have talents that many may not be aware of. There are several celebrity children's book authors who may totally surprise their fans. Knowing how to switch gears and take on a very different task is a notable skill. The volumes of these stories sold can be higher than normal sales because of the big names behind them but many avid readers do not realize they even exist.

Daughter of famous actor, Tony Curtis, and a well-known actress herself, Jamie Lee Curtis has penned many books for the younger crowd, including "Where Do Balloons Go?, " and "Today I Feel Silly." She is mother to two children and utilizes the Skills of Laura Connell, a talented and dedicated illustrator for all of her work.

Dolly Parton, country and western singer, took one of her most famous songs, "Coat of Many Colors, " and converted into a delightful children's story, complete with artistic illustrations. The story is of a little girl from a poor family in Tennessee who has no coat to wear. Her mother makes one for her from various colors of scraps and rags. When the child goes to school in her newly sewn creation, the children mock and make fun of her. She ends the story by telling them how rich she is in that beautiful garment that her mother made just for her.

James Patterson is best known for his adult mysteries. Switching to middle school writing seems out of character but his new book series is very popular among teens and tweens. The "Middle School" series is about how life is for kids this age and they can really relate to the stories. These books have been listed on the New York Times bestseller listing and the author has won the 2011 and 212 Children's Choice Book Awards.

Country and western singer, Tim McGraw, famous for his song "Live Like You Were Dying, " winner of several number one albums and part-time actor, has another virtually unknown skill as a writer. He wrote two very special books for his young daughter. "My Little Girl" is all about spending time with Dad and "Love Your Heart" touches on the art of being kind.

Brooke Shields, top model and movie star, penned a story of a little girl becoming a big sister. "Welcome to Your World, Baby" shows how helpful this big sister was to the new baby and what she dreamed their relationship would be when the infant was older. This would make a perfect gift for a child about to become an older sibling.

Who would have thought that Madonna, the flamboyant rock star who sang "Like a Virgin" and the hit "Material Girl, " would pen storybooks for children. A highly unlikely author, she has written several stories including "The Adventures of Abdi" and "Mr. Peabody's Apples." Her works contain positive messages for children and portray subtle life lessons.

Many of these individuals surprised the world with their writing and also the focus of their storytelling abilities. Children are universal and it just goes to show that a young child can inspire others to take on tasks that they normally would not have done.
