According to the press release, the book titled “Shady Baby” celebrates “a powerful, funny, and super-cute, Black girl character who always keeps it real,” The children’s book, illustrated by Tara Nicole Whitaker, is set time be released by HarperCollins Publishers on May 18.

Although the actress published a bestselling kids’ book inspired by the arrival of daughter Kaavia last year, this will be her first picture book collaboration with her hubby. In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE Magazine, the couple said “This is our first children’s book we did together and we’re so excited for the world to read ‘Shady Baby.’ Inspired by our daughter, Kaavia James, we wanted to create a children’s book that not only had a little Black girl as the main character but that also reflects the global community we live in.” People notes that in “Shady Baby, the baby girl goes to the park to relax, only to meet some bullies. She quickly sets them straight and receives love and support from the other little ones nearby.”

The couple went on to say,

“We hope to give the word ‘shady’ a more positive association and use it to represent one’s moral compass to do the right thing and stand up for themselves and others,” they continued. “It’s important that little Black girls and boys get to see themselves in these fairy tales and for children of other races to see us in leadership roles.”

Dwyane Wade Says His Family Was Being ‘Followed’ And ‘Watched’ Following Gabrielle Union’s AGT Complaints

Dwyane Wade has had enough! The former NBA star is speaking out to defend his wife following her brave move to talk about her experience working on “America’s Got Talent.”

RELATED: Investigation Into Gabrielle Union’s ‘AGT’ Dismissal Finds ‘No Racial Bias Or Derogatory Remarks’

In response to the news that Gabrielle Union, 47, had filed a discrimination complaint against NBC Universal, AGT creator Simon Cowell, Fremantle, and Syco, Wade, 38, revealed why; explaining that the family has been ”followed” and ”watched” ever since she spoke out.

”When these negotiations started my house started being watched and my family started being followed,” he said on Twitter. Wade added, “My daughter couldn’t even go to swim class without us being trailed by people looking for answers. Well, y’all have the answers and y’all still don’t wanna listen to them.” Wade said in another tweet, “Y’all have deemed her a liar after months of trying to inform y’all of the issues in the workplace and also make sure other employees of color that comes after her won’t have the same experiences.”

That wasn’t all! In Wade’s Twitter thread, he also said, “Instead of looking thru the lens of someone who has been an advocate for the black and brown community, for women and for rape victims. So instead of making sure your work environment is a better place for everyone. Y’all have decided that she what? Made it all up because she lost a job? She’s a black women in Hollywood she has lost out on many jobs.”

In a statement to PEOPLE, Union’s attorney Bryan Freedman said of the Thursday filing:

“Gabrielle Union informed NBC of racially offensive conduct during the taping of America’s Got Talent, NBC did not ‘stand’ with her in ‘outrage at acts of racism.’ Instead, NBC did not care enough to either promptly investigate Ms. Union’s complaints or even ask HR to get involved.”

Investigation Into Gabrielle Union’s ‘AGT’ Dismissal Finds ‘No Racial Bias Or Derogatory Remarks’

Investigation Into Gabrielle Union’s ‘AGT’ Dismissal Finds ‘No Racial Bias Or Derogatory Remarks’

NBC & ‘America’s Got Talent’ producers have announced the results from their investigation into Gabrielle Union’s exit. As it was previously reported, the talent competition’s former judge accused the show and its producers of creating a racist and generally “toxic” culture.

RELATED: Gabrielle Union Breaks Silence On ‘America’s Got Talent’ Firing Controversy

However, the network has determined that there was no “racial bias or derogatory remarks made during her time there. The network and producers explained in a joint statement: “Through the investigation process, it has been revealed that no one associated with the show made any insensitive or derogatory remarks about Ms. Union’s appearance and that neither race nor gender was a contributing factor in the advancement or elimination of contestants at any time,” the statement read, in part. “The investigation has shown that the concerns raised by Ms. Union had no bearing on the decision not to exercise the option on her contract,” The Wrap quotes.

Aside from that, the investigation did find “some areas in which reporting processes could be improved,” NBC, Fremantle, and Syco said in the statement. Ironically, Variety released a new interview with the star where she opened about feeling “isolated’ while sharing more details about her the ‘toxic’ work environment of ‘America’s Got Talent.

“I didn’t feel like myself,” she told Variety in a new interview published on Wednesday, May 27. “I’m shape-shifting to make myself more palatable. I’m contorting myself into something I don’t recognize. I had to look at myself and say, ‘Do you want to keep it easy? Or do you want to be you, and stand up?’ Because I’m not the only one being poisoned at work.”

Following her exit from the show last fall, the same publication reported that actress had been told by AGT staffers that her hairstyles were “too black” for the show’s audience. In addition to that, Union also voiced concern over more than one insensitive performance and expressed discomfort over EP Simon Cowell‘s frequent smoking, which made her feel sick while she was on the job.

“I couldn’t escape. I ended up staying sick for two months straight. … It impacted my voice, which affects my ability to do my job,” the actress said, adding that her costar’s smoking created the “very definition” of a toxic environment. “I felt isolated. I felt singled out as being difficult, when I’m asking for basic laws to be followed. I want to come to work and be healthy and safe and listened to.”

She did address her concerns with the network but felt “disappointed” by the show’s response to her complaints. After hearing Jay Leno make a “wildly racist” off-the-cuff remark during a guest judge appearance, the L.A.’s Finest actress was told that producers would just “edit it out.”

“You cannot edit out what we just experienced. There is not an edit button in my brain or in my soul,” she told Variety. “To experience this kind of racism at my job and there be nothing done about it, no discipline, no company-wide email, no reminder of what is appropriate in the workplace?”

The Wednesday joint statement noted that “NBC, Fremantle and Syco immediately engaged an outside investigator who conducted more than 30 interviews to review the issues raised by Ms. Union.”

The network added,

“NBC, Fremantle and Syco share Ms. Union’s dedication to diversity and inclusion in the industry. We continue to remain committed to having an inclusive environment for everyone associated with the show, and to upholding AGT as one of the most diverse programs on television.”
