Kylie Minogue to publish children's book The Showgirl Princess

Kylie Minogue is to follow in Madonna's footsteps by publishing a new children's book. The singer, who is continuing to receive treatment for breast cancer, has written 'The Showgirl Princess', a story about a young girl's rise to fame which draws on Kylie's own life experiences. The book's editor, Jane Richardson, says it will "appeal to little princesses everywhere who love to dress up and have fun. It brims with positive messages such as believing in yourself and the importance of friendship and teamwork."
