(CNN) - Meghan McCain, daughter of presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain, is trying her hand at being a children's author.
The publishing giant Simon & Schuster announced Wednesday that McCain, 23, will write a children's book about her famous father set to be published during the first week of September - the same week as the Republican Party's national convention in Minneapolis.
"I am truly excited about the opportunity to write a children’s book about my father, who is not only a fantastic dad, but also a great American," McCain said in a statement. "This book will offer children the unique opportunity to see the character building events that happened over his lifetime, experiences that led up to his current bid to become the future President of the United States."
Simon & Schuster said it will donate a portion of the proceeds from the book to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, an organization that aids military personnel and veterans who have brain injuries.
Meaghan McCain has already drawn attention for her writing this year - her campaign blog became a primary season phenomenon.

She needs money since her Mother is so broke but and to think it isnt all going to this charity for this Bush/Cheney" the Oil M egas Republican war they started "Those crooked creeps .
YES SHANNON GET READY! She has the right to vote for her own father but he seems out of touch with reality.
Don't forget to mention the Keating Five scandal, the sharing of valuable information with the enemies while a POW, his first marriage, and the 100 year war.
We don't care about his daughter CNN.
I wish her the best of luck.
By the way, her dad's REAL AGE is 63.7 years, according to Newsweek.
Who cares what about this Unjust War?
Maybe she can read some to daddy... Be careful with the big words.
Laura and Jena just finished a children's book. I wonder if that is where she got the idea...
This is funny, because all the people who say "Why is this news?" would be saying "That proves that she's a caring, thoughtful lady" if Michelle Obama were to write a children's book.
Glad to see that Meghan is doing something positive.
good for her to make money out of it but not good for American people at large. Bacause that's got nothing to do with me whether McCain has some sort of experience but the question is.. Will that be the true and the kind of experiences this country needs? Hope so.. because that's what we getting tired of; the kind of experience which we expect a different result but instead we ended up with the same kind of results in Washington, again and again getting tired of it. We need a different direction. Don't you people understant that?? New ideas, new ways of handling things in Washington. Amen!
Hmmm looks like Meghan's taking a leaf out of Jenna's book…
I suppose the two beautiful little Obama girls should write a children's book that's really written by children and not Republican partisans who want to use it to help an old war mongerer continue the Bush legacy.
Remember, people, the same people who run (ruined) the government now will continue business as usual under a McCain administration.
Why is this considered "Ticker" news???
And just what is she going to teach the kids?
OH...may daddy's favorite song is "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran." And my daddy says that getting our troops out of Iraq is "not too important".
My daddy also believes that we should be in Iraq for "100 years". My daddy is going to work to get Roe VS. Wade overturned and take away another victory that women have won. MY daddy will also work to get more U.S. jobs outsourced to other countries.
Wow, she's hot.
Vote for her over her father.
Does this count as a political contribution by Simon & Schuster?
Really, I have at add to "the who cares"? Come on CNN, try to stay on track with the issues!
John McCain's life is not good material for a children"s book. Yes, he was a hero and I thank him for that but no, I do not him to be my President.
Aint she hot?
Whatever! These people are so pathetic! They will do anything for a buck and now they're starting to taint the youth!?!?!??! Thats worse than Oreilly's book for the youth!
McCain has a daughter?
Wow.........Just like the I got a crush on Obama story, the only topic in this is that she maybe a first daughter.
STUPID PUBLICITY BY MCCAIN CLAN.
What a beautiful Presidential daughter we will have.
My Daddy is a good Daddy. Tell you're mommy and Daddy to vote for my Daddy!
The characters should be a cute little chameleon.
Actually, McCain son is fighting in Iraq. One of the few politicians who has a child over in Iraq. Yet, the liberal media doesn't mention this at all.. I wonder why...
