It’s official: “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie is now a bestselling author, thanks to the release of her new children’s book titled, “Mostly What God Does Is Love You.” Released on February 25, Guthrie’s faith-based kids book quickly topped the New York Times bestsellers list as well as Amazon’s children’s book charts (where it’s still number one as of this writing).

From publisher Zonderkidz, the 32-page picture book “showcases the wonders of nature, the beauty of God’s creation, and most importantly, how very loved you are by God,” per a description online.

Guthrie’s easy-to-read text is accompanied by full-color pictures from illustrator Morgan Huff. Guthrie says she wanted to write an uplifting book that could remind children of “how very cherished they are.” In turn, she says she hopes young readers can then “share that same love by being kind and compassionate to others.” In an interview with her daughter Vale, Guthrie also shares about the importance of prayer, telling Vale that she learned to pray and “talk to God” at a young age.
