American actress Tori Spelling has a reality TV show, a children’s clothing line, and two autobiographical books to her name, and now she is branching out into a new area: children’s literature.

Simon & Schuster said its Aladdin imprint is to publish Spelling’s first children’s book called “Presenting … Tallulah” in September this year.

Spelling, whose acting credits include TV show “Beverly Hills 90210,” has already written an autobiography “sTORI Telling” and follow-up book “Mommywood” about being a Hollywood mother of young children. Her third adult book, tentatively titled “Uncharted terriTORI,” is due to go on sale in June.

Aladdin said “Presenting … Tallulah,” illustrated by Vanessa Brantley Newton, tells the story of a young girl who just wants to be herself.

“I love reading to my kids. It’s our special time together. That and my passion for story telling inspired me to write a children’s book of my own to read to them and children everywhere,” said Spelling, 36, in a statement.

Spelling, the daughter of the late TV producer Aaron Spelling, and her second husband Dean McDermott, who have two children, are filming the fourth season of their reality TV series, “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood.”
