Alicia Keys and her baby bump made an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show in support of her newest project – a children’s book titled The AdventuresĀ of Mama Mae & Lee Lee. Loosely based on Keys’ relationship with her late grandmother.

“We really modeled the relationship after me and my grandmother. Anybody’s nana or big mama, I think it’s such an important relationship between mom, child and grandmother,” she explains. “So Lee Lee is a girl, she’s just moved to New York City and she’s worried about how she’s going to fit in, where she lives. So Mama Mae through her journals she takes her through to these different worlds in this case native times.”
