Gloria jumps on the Celeb Kid Lit Conga Line

Because the Estefans apparently don't have their hands in enough business ventures, Gloria Estefan has a children's book hitting shelves tomorrow. The book , titled "The Magically Mysterious Adventures of Noelle the Bulldog,", is your typical underdog (literally) saves the day story with a Latino twist, and according to Estefan is based on her own experience of struggle when she arrived to the U.S. from Cuba as a child.

So far critics aren't falling all over themselves over the book, which seems pretty common for celeb penned kiddie lit. But I bet that the general Latino parenting community will go out and buy the book because of the sheer lack of Latino themed children's books in English available. If you don't believe me, go to your local chain bookstore and check it out for yourself and while you're there check out Gloria's latest endeavor.
