Motherhood is what makes her latest project, “Natalie Portman’s Fables,” so close to her heart.
“Children’s books have this very special place in our lives because we read them over and over and over again like no other books," the 39-year-old actress said.
For her next writing project, Portman is hoping to tackle something in her son's comfort zone, perhaps a graphic novel.
