'Anytime I hold him it's like, 'I don't know what you're doing in my spot.' She's so jealous in that moment,' she said.

Kelly's book called River Rose And The Musical Lullaby is published Tuesday and was inspired by and named for her precious little girl.

And she's planning more tales having signed a deal with HarperCollins for multiple books.

'I had all these stories already in play from all the places she's been,' she told the Toronto Sun

'The whole idea was, 'Why don't we make each place, whether it be Australia, Asia or London, all the places she's been different books?' She gets to travel a lot and I know kids love adventure.'
