The Library of Congress will host multi-award winner Brooke Shields to discuss her forthcoming book, "Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old.” Norah O'Donnell of CBS News will moderate the discussion.
Shields is the bestselling author of several books, including "The Brooke Book," "On Your Own," and the critically acclaimed "Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression." She tapped into her experiences as a mother, successfully branching out into the world of children's books, penning "Welcome To Your World, Baby" and "It's the Best Day Ever, Dad!" for Harper Collins. Her most recent book from 2014, “There Was a Little Girl: The Real Story of My Mother and Me,” quickly became a New York Times bestseller.
Her upcoming book, “Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old,” explores the humility and power of aging. Blending personal narrative and guidebook, Shields hopes to flip our popular beliefs about aging by lifting the voices of experts and everyday women who find this era of life a period for self-discovery, energy and opportunity.
