The book "offers a rare and intimate" look of Richards` relationship with his grandfather, a jazz musician who introduced him to music. Richards has joined forces with his 28-year-old daughter Theodora Dupree Richards, who is named after Richards` grandfather, for the illustration. The musician will also work with Barnaby Harris and Bill Shapiro for the book. "I have just become a grandfather for the fifth time, so I know what I`m talking about. The bond, the special bond, between kids and grandparents is unique and should be treasured. This is a story of one of those magical moments. May I be as great a grandfather as Gus was to me," Richards said.
