After scaring moviegoers in Jordan Peele’s new horror movie "Us," Lupita Nyong’o now has a story appropriate for her young fans: Her first children’s book, "Sulwe."
The Oscar-winning actress revealed the cover in an Instagram post.
“I wrote a book! It's called #Sulwe! This is the cover! I'm thrilled to share it with you," she said.

According to Nyong’o, Sulwe "is a dark skinned girl who goes on a starry-eyed adventure, and awakens with a reimagined sense of beauty. She encounters lessons that we learn as children and spend our lives unlearning."
