After releasing a memoir called 'Life' in 2010, rocker Keith Richards is currently working on a children's book.

Little, Brown Books for Young Readers announced that the 70-year-old Rolling Stones star would release a book called 'Gus & Me: The Story of My Granddad and My First Guitar' on September 9.

The book will be available in hard copy with CD as well as E-book format, according to the The Hollywood Reporter.

The book "offers a rare and intimate" look of Richards' relationship with his grandfather, a jazz musician who introduced him to music.

Richards has joined forces with his 28-year-old daughter Theodora Dupree Richards, who is named after Richards' grandfather, for the illustration. The musician will also work with Barnaby Harris and Bill Shapiro for the book.
 

"I have just become a grandfather for the fifth time, so I know what I'm talking about. The bond, the special bond, between kids and grandparents is unique and should be treasured. This is a story of one of those magical moments. May I be as great a grandfather as Gus was to me," Richards said.
