Former One Direction star Zayn Malik has said his CBeebies Bedtime Story debut "will be something really cool" to show his daughter.
The Bradford-born singer, 31, is reciting Music is in Everything by actor and singer Ziggy Marley, the son of reggae musician Bob Marley. Illustrated by Ag Jatkowska, the picture book is an ode to power and song.
Malik, who shares one daughter, Khai, with American model Gigi Hadid, 29, said: "I chose this book because I love Bob Marley, and because music and reading are both important to me as a parent.
"I sing to my daughter at night-time when she goes to sleep and I read to her at bedtime too. I feel like this will be something really cool to show her, so I'm up for reading a CBeebies Bedtime Story."
Other musicians including Dolly Parton, Elton John and Ed Sheeran have all taken part in the programme before.
Malik recently released his fourth album, Room Under the Stairs, which focuses on his personal journey, healing and growth.
CBeebies Bedtime Story is on each weekday at 6.50pm on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer. Malik's story will air on 22 May.
