Kenya Moore She can also add “bestselling children’s book author” to her long list of accomplishments.

The actor, producer, director, singer and reality star is released on Sunday, November 3. Brooklyn Border: Paris — first children’s book. Fans responded by purchasing the entire first edition of the book on Amazon within two hours.

It’s an exciting milestone, but especially special for Moore, who wrote the book with her 6-year-old daughter. Brooklyn Dalywho shared it with ex-husband Marc Daly.

“I’m so proud of Brooklyn,” says Moore, 53. “Part of being a mother is that you always want to give your child opportunities you haven’t had before. And for her to see this success already as part of her legacy is just a reminder that there will be so many things coming her way in the future. They’re beyond anything we could have ever imagined.”

The book, which Moore envisions will be the first in a series, follows 4-year-old Brooklyn, who takes readers to his favorite places in Paris during his birthday trip to the City of Lights. It’s something Moore has done regularly since celebrating her daughter’s first birthday in Brooklyn.

“I always wanted Brooklyn to be exposed to different parts of the world because I want her to be a citizen of the world,” Moore says. “I don’t want him to be narrow-minded. I want the world to know that he’s bigger than his backyard, bigger than our life in Atlanta.”

“There is so much we can see, learn, appreciate, and grow when we experience other cultures,” Moore continues. “That’s one of the reasons I sent her to an international school. And every night I cook her cuisine from a different part of the world. I never grew up like that, but I want to do better for my daughter.”

Brooklyn has “really embraced” the adventures, Moore says, and Moore can already see the impact they’re having in shaping his personality. “She’s a very curious, very respectful little girl,” Moore says. “He’s not afraid to try new things, and when he learns things you can see that he really internalizes them and appreciates other people’s differences.”

“He came home from school the other day celebrating Diwali there,” Moore explains. “She was in traditional dress and was telling me about the bindi on her forehead. I was so happy with her because she’s exposed to so many different cultures and really absorbs them all.”

Moore witnessed this firsthand during a trip the mother-daughter duo took to Kenya last month. “We visited the Masai tribe in Africa,” he recalls. “We went to their village, we went to their homes, and Brooklyn got to see what their life was like. Where they sleep, where they eat, what they have and what they don’t have… even how they prepare food. They taught us how to make a fire, how to set up a kitchen, and it was all very fascinating to him.” .”

Kenya will likely be the next location Brooklyn Bound Moore tells PEOPLE. “This topic is fresh on our minds, so I want to start the next step,” he says. “But I think we’ll go to Dubai next. There’s so much to explore, the possibilities are truly endless.”

The idea for the book actually came to Moore from Brooklyn.

“He’s starting to read actual words on his own now, but Brooklyn has always loved books,” Moore gushes. “I was reading to her every night, and one day she brought me this paper book that she had written with the help of one of our babysitters. It was about her and Bluey going on this adventure together, and she had drawn these pictures and pinned the construction paper together and it was written like a real book. And I was so excited.” I was impressed because some of them actually rhyme. So I thought, ‘Maybe we should write a book together?’ I thought.

It was a no-brainer to focus this on his adventures abroad. Moore did all the artwork himself, but insists the writing process was collaborative. “At first we sat down and Brooklyn told me all the things he loved about Paris. Then as I was writing I said, ‘What rhymes with this putty?’ And he said, ‘Waste! Hurry up!’ So that’s how we did it.”

Told from the Brooklyns’ point of view, Brooklyn Border: Paris sees the little girl visit everywhere from the iconic Eiffel Tower and the grand Arc de Triomphe to the Tuileries Garden and the Louvre. There are activities along the way, including a French cooking class. And there are even surprises like a magical experience at Disneyland Paris.

“It was really born out of Brooklyn’s experiences,” Moore says. “And it’s not just about capturing the spirit of travel, it’s also about showing the close bond that develops between mothers and daughters during such getaways.”

Moore hopes the series will expand beyond print, perhaps into an animated show. “I’ve never seen an animated series about a black girl her age with a single mother,” Moore says. “So that gives me hope that there might be an opportunity there, especially with the travel element.”

But until then, Moore hopes other children will be inspired by the book.

“Reading opens your world to everything,” says Moore. “There’s a world of adventure in the pages of the book. And I hope other kids who can’t go to Paris or Kenya or wherever we go can feel like in Brooklyn I can learn from it and aspire to go there one day.”

“Brooklyn has always been a beacon of hope in my life since I had it,” Moore adds. “And after reading this, I know it will be the same for others.”
