  Michelle Obama’s memoir cover photo revealed: big smile and bare shoulder

Michelle Obama’s much-anticipated memoir isn’t coming out until Nov. 13, but we now know what its cover will look like.

The former first lady shared it on Instagram on Thursday. The cover photo, taken earlier this year by portrait photographer Miller Mobley, showcases Obama’s famously big smile as she leans gently toward the camera, her right shoulder bare. (She could be making a subtle statement: When she was first lady, some faulted her for wearing sleeveless dresses.)

“Becoming” will be published by the Crown Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House. Crown will also release a memoir by former President Barack Obama. The couple’s book deal was rumored to be worth $65 million.

Published during the busy, pre-holiday season, “Becoming” will come out in 25 languages around the world. Obama will read the audio edition of the book.

Crown said that the memoir begins with Obama’s upbringing on the South Side of Chicago and takes readers up to and beyond her time in the White House.

“With unerring honesty and lively wit,” Crown said in a statement, “she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it — in her own words and on her own terms.”

Obama will tour with the book, both in the United States and abroad. Dates have yet to be announced.
