In short order, two Bustle staffers run over with bottles of apple juice, like handlers tending to a rockstar. It has been decreed (by Parker) that her book should immediately join the literary canon, and I must agree.
"This is the book for the library," Parker says, indicating that a copy of Parker Looks Up should be placed in one of the book stacks at the Bustle Digital Group offices for future reference. Virality being what it is, Parker and her mother Jessica (the co-author) are currently doing a book tour for the resulting children's book, with younger sister Ava, baby brother Cash, and dad in tow. Parker went "viral" again when she posed in a homemade version of Obama's dress. The image was so simple: a young black girl captivated by the beauty of a modern-day icon. In 2018, a photo went viral of little Parker stopped in her tracks by the Amy Sherald portrait of Michelle Obama in the National Portrait Gallery. She is, indeed, the author of a book about herself. This is a problem the publicist for 4-year-old author Parker doesn't have. You don't want them going on a rant about, say, the Kardashians when they should be promoting their book.
One of the great challenges book publicists face is having the author stay on message. "I went viral for Michelle Obama, so she inspired me to write this book, which is on top of your computer," Parker Curry, co-author of Parker Looks Up: An Extraordinary Moment (Simon & Schuster), tells Romper, pointing to Romper's laptop.
