In Hollywood you can never be too young to ink a book deal.
On Wednesday, Simon & Schuster announced that it would publish four children's books by 12-year-old actress Quvenzhané Wallis.
The deal includes three as-yet-untitled chapter books about a spunky third-grader, launching in January 2017, and a picture book scheduled for the fall of that year.
Wallis is the youngest actress ever to be nominated for an Academy Award, for her performance in "Beasts of the Southern Wild" in 2012.
She played the title role in last year's "Annie" remake.
