Geri Halliwell, known for her iconic role as Ginger Spice in the Spice Girls, is now channeling the group's signature power into a new children's book. Despite her enduring Spice Girls legacy, she emphasizes that she is first and foremost a mother to her two kids, 17-year-old daughter Bluebell and 6-year-old son Montague.

While Montague missed out on the Spice Girls phenomenon due to his age, he's occasionally reminded of his mom's pop star days on the playground. However, his response is typically nonchalant, as he's more interested in bedtime stories than discussing her Spice Girls fame.

Bluebell, on the other hand, occasionally incorporates a touch of Spice Girls nostalgia into her style by wearing vintage-inspired sweatshirts. Nevertheless, what her children truly desire is their mother's presence, regardless of her past as Ginger Spice.

As for the possibility of a Spice Girls reunion, Geri Halliwell acknowledges the group's significance to the world but explains that her current focus is on her new project, Rosie Frost. She emphasizes that she's committed to giving her all to any project, much like caring for a child. Rosie Frost is the protagonist of Halliwell's newly released children's book, "Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen," which is the first installment of an upcoming trilogy. The character's storyline draws inspiration from Halliwell's own experiences, particularly the loss of her father during her teenage years.

Rosie Frost's journey begins when she loses her mother at a young age and is sent to Bloodstone Island, where she faces challenges from a menacing deputy headmaster, unfriendly classmates, and hidden family secrets. Through Rosie's story, Halliwell highlights the universal desire to belong and the importance of finding one's voice when faced with adversity.

Halliwell believes that standing up for oneself, whether in school or the workplace, is crucial, and Rosie exemplifies this by confronting challenges and discovering her inner courage. She emphasizes that true heroism lies in ordinary individuals finding the strength within their hearts.

While fans hope for a Spice Girls reunion, Halliwell has infused the spirit of girl power into her new book's main character, Rosie Frost. She describes the evolution of her work, likening Spice Girls to Disney and Rosie Frost to Pixar, indicating that her creativity continues to evolve.
