Queer Eye star Karamo Brown is releasing a children's book, collaborating with his 22-year old son, Jason "Rachel" Brown.
The culture expert took to social media to share the news, writing: "So excited to announce that I wrote a picture book with my son, Jason to empower everyone to love who they are, exactly as they are! Remember you are perfectly designed too!"
Brown has previouslyopened up about the unusual way he found out that he was a father, telling People magazine that he first learned of Jason, then 10-years-old, in 2006 via a letter in the mail.
“On the front page was ‘Texas Attorney General’s Office'," Brown said. "The second page read: ‘Subpoena for Back Child Support'. I thought: Ashton Kutcher is inside my house. I’m getting punked!”
Brown soon realised that the child's mother was a friend of his from high school who he'd slept with when he was 15.
Speaking to Out about the pair's creative collaboration, Brown explained: "When I became a father, I was really trying to instill in him the confidence that he can be whatever he is, no matter what people told him."
He added: "People would make him feel like he wasn't good enough. I tried to consistently instill that he was. And as he's grown up now and turned into one of the most exceptional people I know, I decided that there should be a way of passing on this sort of lesson that I gave to him in a new way."
"So we decided to do a book together - a children's book that could be utilised for parents, for kids, and for anyone really who just needs that boost in confidence that they are enough and that they are perfectly designed."
