WASHINGTON — Add audiobook narrator to the resume of Jay-Z and Beyoncé's 8-year-old daughter.

Blue Ivy Carter, the celebrity couple's oldest child, narrated the 2019 book "Hair Love" by Matthew A. Cherry.

The book, based on the Oscar-award winning short film with the same name, tells the heartfelt story of a Black father learning to do his daughter's hair for the first time, in the absence of her mother.

This also isn't the first time "Hair Love" has made headlines. During his Academy Award speech, "Hair Love" creator Cherry used his victory to shed a light on hair discrimination, and cited the example of DeAndre Arnold. The Texas teen was suspended from school for his dreadlocks, and ended up going to the Oscars as Cherry's special guest.
