Billie Eilish is set to read a children s bedtime story on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer this week.
The ˜What Was I Made For singer will read from Oliver Jeffers s This Moose Belongs to Me, which follows the story of Wilfred, a young boy who believes he owns a large moose named Marcel.
Eilish is expected to tell the young viewers about her love of nature and advises: We need to look after beautiful, wild creatures like Marcel, but we also need to let them do their own thing, in the broadcast, which will air on CBeebies on Friday 19 July.
Jeffers work often touches on climate-conscious themes, which Eilish has also been a vocal proponent of. Last year, she invited young environmental activists to have a conversation about the climate crisis.

She previously brought together climate activists, musicians and designers at venues across The O2 to discuss the climate crisis and the work they are doing to make a difference at her ‘Overheated event.
She joins stars like Harry Styles, Dave Grohl, Dolly Parton, Elton John, Tom Hardy, Ed Sheeran and Idles frontman Joe Talbot in appearing on the children s TV series.
Discussing the upcoming show, she said: My favourite thing in the world as a child was a bedtime story and I would be upset if I didn t get one. I had a lot and I loved them all!
Elsewhere, Eilish’s brother and producer Finneas has said that he had one of the longest, biggest arguments with her when they were making ˜Hit Me Hard And Soft .
During an appearance on Hot Ones Versus, he elaborated on the exchange, telling Eilish: “I think the longest, biggest argument was during a period of transition in both of our lives when we were both just trying to be honest.
“To give you credit, I was very high and mighty and telling you you weren t being honest enough or authentic enough.”
