Jimmy Fallon’s picture book inspired by daughter

NEW YORK (AP) — Forgive Jimmy Fallon if his new book is a story of wishful thinking.

The host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show” has a deal with Feiwel and Friends for the picture book “Your Baby’s First Word Will Be Dada.”

Fallon says he was inspired by his daughter, Winnie Rose, whose first word, alas, was “Mama.”

The publisher announced Monday that the book is scheduled for release in June.

Feiwel and Friends is an imprint of Macmillan.
