Here is a statement from Mary J. Blige about her debut children book:
“I’m so excited about ‘Mary Can!’ I almost want to cry because it’s funny how you can go through so much hell, and it can turn into someone else’s heaven. This book is dedicated to little kids all over the world that feel like they can’t. Remember, I said ‘Mary Can!’ and you can too. It was inspired [by] a real part of my life.”
Like the story’s character, people used to tell Mary J. Blige “no” and what she couldn’t do. But instead of letting it tear her down, Mary was motivated even more. The book was currently available to purchase on amazon or wherever book are sold.
