Get ready to see Lupita Nyong’o’s name on bookshelves far and wide right next to those of your favorite children’s authors!

Lupita Nyong’o might best be known for her work on the silver screen, but the Academy Award winner is gearing up for a different kind of release.

The actress has been hard at work on her first children’s book for quite some time, and now, she’s finally ready to reveal the cover.

Nyong’o took to Instagram to give fans a first look at the cover for Sulwe, a new children’s book aiming at encouraging kids to love themselves.

In the photo, the Us star can be seen posing with the book, which according to the caption will be out later this fall.

“I wrote a book! It’s called #Sulwe! This is the cover I’m thrilled to share it with you. Sulwe is out October 1 and is available for pre-order today at the link in bio!” wrote Nyong’o. “I wrote #Sulwe to encourage children (and everyone really!) to love the skin that they re in and see the beauty that radiates from within.”

When the book was first announced early last year, we learned that the title of the book is a word from Nyong’o’s native language, Luo, which translates to “star” in English.

Sulwe tells the story of a young girl growing up in Kenya who has the darkest skin color of all her family. It’s a fact that makes Sulwe incredibly uncomfortable, and one the Oscar winner can relate to.

Nyong’o has spoken about the journey to accepting her dark complexion many times in the past, and it’s lovely that she’s now looking to empower young children to do the same with her book.

You can pick up a copy of Sulwe by Lupita Nyong’o on October 1!
