Savannah Guthrie Reveals the Heart Behind Her Children’s Book and Morning Show Magic
Ready to rise and shine with a dose of heart and soul? Savannah Guthrie, the beloved anchor of the “Today” show, is out here sharing her newfound joy and messages of love in her latest children’s book, “Mostly What God Does Is Love You.” In an exclusive sit-down with People Magazine, she spilled some heartfelt tea a few weeks ahead of its release, showcasing exactly why she’s the warmest presence on our morning screens.
Decked out in a pastel pink sweater that perfectly matches her dressing room, the 53-year-old personality isn’t just the face of morning news; she’s also a devoted mom and author who wears her heart quite literally on her sleeve. With a tattoo of “all my love” penned in her late father’s handwriting, Guthrie explains how that guiding phrase influences her life and her new literary endeavor. The book is an adaptation of her 2024 upcoming New York Times bestseller aimed at illuminating the importance of family discussions surrounding faith. She shared that her sister once deemed God the “sixth member of their family”—a sentiment Guthrie’s striving to recreate at home with her husband Mike Feldman and their two inquisitive kids, Vale and Charley.
Guthrie reflects on how her kids, aged 10 and 8, keep things real with equally tough questions. Seriously, if her children aren’t vibing with Jalen Hurts, they’re probably navigating existential inquiries, which makes for some stimulating dinner conversations. And guess what? The kids are surprisingly into reading parts of their mom’s adult book, proving that literature and family bonds can mix like coffee and headlines.
But here’s the kicker: Writing about faith and vulnerability isn’t always a walk in the park for Savannah. She admitted to feeling a bit on edge about how her work would be received but discovered there’s a massive appetite for genuine conversations around meaningful subjects. It’s a refreshing take in a time when many shy away from discussing faith openly. Support from her mom and lifelong friend Hoda Kotb keeps her going, with Kotb constantly pushing to read more of Guthrie’s work, confidence spilling into every page turned.
In a world where authenticity and connection are often lacking, Savannah Guthrie is stepping up to create opportunities for dialogue through her writing. Her examples of love, faith, and resilience serve as a beacon to parents looking to introduce spirituality into their homes, proving that a little conversation can go a long way.
