The book was inspired by the rocker's childhood -- specifically his grandfather, Theodore Augustus Dupree (known as Gus), who was in a jazz big band. Richards' artist daughter was named after the grandfather, too.

"I have just become a grandfather for the fifth time, so I know what I'm talking about," said Richards. who has five children. "The bond, the special bond, between kids and grandparents is unique and should be treasured. This is a story of one of those magical moments. May I be as great a grandfather as Gus was to me."

This isn't Richards' first book. In 2010, he released his memoir, "Life."
