She has a certain objective as an author. Mariah Carey’s children’s book, The Christmas Princess, has a message she likes, although she was opposed adding page numbers to the end product.

“Time is irrelevant to me, [and] I don’t acknowledge it,” the “All I Want for Christmas Is You” songstress, 52, admitted during a Friday, November 4, appearance on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “That’s why, even in my book, there’s no page numbers. Someone had to point that out to me. I was like, ‘Oh, yeah.’ Because I don’t care.”

She added: “It’s all the same, it should all just be the same. Why?”

The Christmas Princess, Carey’s debut picture book, was published earlier this month and follows the flawed Little Mariah as she experiences the wonder of the holidays. Michaela Angela Davis and Fuuji Takashi collaborated on the fictional piece’s writing and illustrations.

“It’s not just about [me] ‘cause her name is Mariah [and I’m] so Christmassy. It’s that this is for anyone who’s ever felt other’ed, who’s ever felt different than other people, who’s ever felt ostracized,” the “Hero” artist told Jimmy Fallon of her literary inspirations. “At the end of the day, it’s not a magical prince that comes to save her day, it’s the music [and] she gets through her own struggles and her own stuff. Ultimately, in my opinion, this is the ‘Adventures of Little Mariah’ [and] she represents all people: little boys, little girls, whoever.”

Carey continued: “It’s fun and festive and her hair is a little bit unkept. She’s not perfect [and] she doesn’t get a makeover.”

Moroccan and Monroe, her ex-husband Nick Cannon’s 11-year-old twins, joined the Grammy winner on the set as she read a little passage impromptu during her performance.
