The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah announced that he has released a “child-friendly” edition of his bestselling memoir, “Born A Crime” on his social accounts account on Tuesday .
Noah wrote: “Excited to announce that @randomhousekids have adapted my book for younger readers! IT’S TREVOR NOAH: BORN A CRIME, is out TODAY! You can order it online with link in my bio!”.
The New York Times bestseller, which is also available as an audio book, is a personal story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist.It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life.
The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the lifeand- death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.
Born A Crime was first released in 2016 and quickly made it onto the New York Times bestsellers list and has won two NAACP Image Awards.
