At just eight-years-old Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter already has quite the list of accomplishments, having appeared on mom’s songs and even winning a BET Award.
And now the pint-sized star has narrated the audio book version of Hair Love, a sweet story about a father learning to style his daughter’s hair.
Creator Matthew Cherry shared the news on his Instagram Monday, posting a quick sample of the audio and writing: ‘Our Hair Love audiobook is live. Narrated by Blue Ivy Carter. Link in bio and available everywhere audiobooks are sold.’

Blue Ivy’s audiobook performance could make her a Grammy contender.
The spoken word categories are often dominated by big-name projects, making the combination of Academy Award honors and star-power a recipe for success.
That wouldn’t be Blue’s first trophy, however.
