![]() ![]() HarperCollins children’s books editorial director Margaret Anastas said that Smith “made the Fresh Prince one of the most memorable characters on TV with his zest for life and willingness to be himself”. I know all of my children would have loved Fresh Princess growing up, and being a father who raised a strong daughter I know how important it is to see that type of strength depicted in stories … I’m down to follow Destiny through her growth and adventures, just as I had experienced the journey of the young ‘Will Smith’ as he danced, laughed, made mistakes, and created memorable moments on his road to becoming the Fresh Prince.” ![]() Will Smith told Entertainment Weekly: “I couldn’t be more excited that the character I played for so long could inspire such a fun and empowering book for kids everywhere. Inspired by Smith and illustrated by Gladys Jose, the series is being written by author Denene Millner, who said Destiny was “our new little star … a spunky, adorable, double-dutching black girl, her awesome family and their new city – West Philly”. ![]()
