Will Smith announced that he's launching a children's book series featuring a character called the 'Fresh Princess,' a re-imagining of his character from the television series 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.'

Harper Collins Children’s Books will publish three picture books featuring Destiny, a stylish young girl who moves to a new neighborhood and must acclimate to her surroundings.

"I couldn’t be more excited that the character I played for so long could inspire such a fun and empowering book for kids everywhere," Smith said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly."I know all of my children would have loved Fresh Princess growing up, and being a father who raised a strong daughter I know how important it is to see that type of strength depicted in stories.

Harper Collins Children’s Books editorial director Margaret Anastas said she was"thrilled" to publish the book series.

''Fresh Prince of Bel Air'' was as real as the the 'I love Lucy show' or the ' Brady Bunch'. All wannabes.

That’s sad. I know people working on children’s books who would love to get them published and Will Smith uses his celebrity status to cut in line with a stupid idea.

Of course.

So, that's what he's been doing.

Probably will be about his boy.

Are you saying that Will Smith always really wanted to be a princess?

I wish Coolio would write a book
