The cover of Matthew McConaughey’s children’s book, “Just Because.”
Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey — who will publish a children’s book, “Just Because,” on Sept. 12 — has scheduled appearances, featuring photo ops with him using pre-signed books, at Bookends in Ridgewood, Sept. 10 at 10 a.m.; and The Strand in New York, Sept. 12 at 6:30 p.m.
For information on these events as well as McConaughey book events taking place elsewhere, visit justbecausebook.com.
“Just Because” (Viking Books for Young Reader, 32 pp., $19.99) is written by McConaughey, illustrated by Renée Kurilla, and recommended for children 4-8 years old. Its website describes it as “a soulful and irreverent collection of life lessons that empowers readers, big and small, to celebrate how we are all full of possibility.”
McConaughey’s 2020 book “Greenlights” — a frequently philosophical collection of autobiographical stories and poems, developed from journals — was a best-seller.
