In August of 2024, Perri announced that she was in the process of writing a children's book based on her 2011 song, "A Thousand Years". Speaking to People about the book, Perri noted, "I decided to make lullaby albums because that's what I'm singing to my girls, and so I make a lullaby version of 'A Thousand Years', and now everybody's playing that on TikTok." She added, "People played the original to their kids long before I decided to sing it to my own kids... It just happened so naturally..." Ultimately, she concluded, "...It kind of felt like the most natural thing to do to make it a kid's book."{{Cite web |title=Christina Perri Reveals the Cover of Her New Children's Book, A Thousand Years, to PEOPLE: 'So Grateful' (Exclusive) |url=https://people.com/christina-perri-reveals-the-cover-of-her-new-children-s-book-a-thousand-years-exclusive-8698433 |access-date=2024-10-22 |website=People.com |language=en}} The book is scheduled for release on April 1, 2025.
