\n\tThe book, which will be published by Flamingo Books (an imprint of Penguin Young Readers), tells the story of a loving grandparent and grandchild who spend the day together doing fun activities and adventures that lead to understanding some of life\u2019s core truths.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Streisand, this project is very personal, stemming from her home life. \u201cI love being \u2018Gamma Barbra\u2019 to my three wonderful young grandchildren,\u201d Streisand shared in a statement. \u201cOne of our favorite activities is reading picture books together \u2014 sometimes the same ones over and over again! So, I thought it would be fun to write my own book\u2026 for them\u2026 and hopefully, for other parents and grandparents to read to their little ones!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe title of the book also has everything to do with Streisand, as it\u2019s one of her signature phrases. \u201cIt\u2019s an expression I use quite often,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt seems like there\u2019s always one more thing to say!\u201d She added that the overarching message centers on \u201cdiscovery, self-expression, self-reliance and of course, love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStreisand has four grandchildren through her marriage to actor James Brolin, with whom she tied the knot in 1998. Her stepson Josh Brolin has four children \u2014 who are the singer\u2019s step-grandchildren. Josh Brolin shares Trevor, 38, and Eden, 31, with his first wife. In 2016, Josh married his third wife, Kathryn Boyd Brolin; together they have daughters Westlyn Reign, 7, and Chapel Grace, 5.<\/p>\n

And By the Way\u2026<\/em> is currently available for preorder and will officially be released on March 30, 2027.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
