It’s a ✨COVER REVEAL✨ for Jeong Is Jeong, releasing 2/3/26 from @randomhousekids.bsky.social Pre-order link in bio!

“What is Jeong?” a little girl asks her grandma, and so begins a lyrical journey of discovery, kindness, and understanding in this ode to Korean American language and culture.

Hey everyone,

#KidLit4Ceasefire has now fundraised the evacuation of 10 people.

I am focusing on the next two families.
One family of 6 and another of just 3, with a 4-month-old baby. I need 500 items for this fundraiser.

I only have 218 at the moment.

I'm seeing a number of posts that say things like, MAGA hates anyone who's read a book without pictures in it...

Counterpoint: MAGA hasn't read enough picture books; if they had, they'd more likely be decent human beings w an inclusive world view.

Everyone should read more picture books.

Wanna see something fun? Eh, I'm gonna show you whether you want to or not because it's fun for me, MWAHAHAHAHA! #evil It's the final cover for THEO CHANG IS NOT A CAT, arriving on November 4, with art by the amazing @katfcomix.bsky.social! Fun, right? Just say yes. IT'S FUN, DAMN IT #fun
The cover spread for THEO CHANG IS NOT A CAT, with text on the back cover that reads "MEET THE KIDS IN MRS. Z'S CLASS! Theo Chang loves Trainwhistle, his family’s newly adopted cat. There’s just one problem: Trainwhistle does not love Theo. Although he’s a lovey-dovey lap cat with humans, Trainwhistle is mean to other cats. And for some reason, he thinks Theo is another cat. Chased around the apartment and bitten on the ankle by the ferocious feline, Theo doesn’t know what to do! Too embarrassed about getting beaten up by his own cat, Theo is afraid to ask his best friend, Memo, for advice. But when his parents start talking about returning Trainwhistle to the shelter, he realizes time is running out. Can Theo convince Trainwhistle he’s a boy, not a cat, before it’s too late? Both sweetly poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, with black-and-white illustrations by Pura Belpré Honor artist Kat Fajardo, Theo’s story invites readers into Mrs. Z’s class, where friendship and fun rule the school. MIKE JUNG is the author of Geeks, Girls, and Secret Identities, Unidentified Suburban Object, and The Boys in the Back Row. He is a library professional by day and a writer and ukulele player by night, and he was a founding member of the We Need Diverse Books team. Mike lives in Oakland, California, with his family, and he invites you to visit him online at captainstupendous.wordpress.com." and the title, author (me) and an illustration of Theo holding Trainwhistle, who's pushing Theo away with one paw, and Theo's friends Memo and Wyatt in the background
