Savannah Guthrie helped Hoda Kotb to reveal the co-host's upcoming book
Earlier this week, Guthrie took on a similar role for Kotb as she helped her co-host, who is a mother of two daughters, to announce her exciting career news. Kotb revealed that her new children’s book is on the way, saying, "A few years back, I wrote the book, I’ve Loved You Since Forever, and it was inspired by the birth of my daughter Haley. So, I’m bursting because I have a book coming out next March, and it’s inspired by my youngest daughter, Hope." Kotb went on to explain that the book is about "really looking for hope all around yourself," showing off the bright and beautiful cover of the upcoming book.
Guthrie then asked her co-host a bit more about the story, to which Kotb replied, "It was based on my daughter, who, of course, I had dreamt of her and hoped for her, and her name just fell in. And she just reminds me that hope is around every corner. No matter what you go through, no matter what hardship you endure." Kotb mentioned that she finished writing the book before her four-year-old daughter, Hope, fell ill a few months ago, adding that her daughter is "on the mend" as of now.
