NEW YORK, May 20 — "The Good Wife" actress Julianna Margulies is to see her debut picture book published in May 2016.

Publishers Weekly reports that Random House Children's Books is publishing her story “Three Magic Balloons,” based on a tale her father wrote for his three young daughters. Margulies and her sisters reportedly found the manuscript after their father's death last October.

The story centres on three sisters who go to the zoo each week with their father. While at the zoo, a vendor gives them balloons that carry them off on a “magical, nighttime adventure.”

Grant Shaffer, an artist and illustrator whose work has appeared in the New Yorker, the New York Times and Interview, has provided the illustrations. — AFP-Relaxnews
