I'm so excited to announce the first 2 titles in my debut board book series, BABY VIRTUES with WorthyKids, illustrated by the talented Kat Uno. I am so grateful to be working with Peggy Schaefer, & as always, thankful to Alice Fugate for championing this project.

Oh, just me recording some of the audiobook for my debut #YA #fantasy #OnceAQueen , which releases Jan. 30 (!). And the award-winning Shakira Shute narrates the rest--eep! Can't WAIT! 🥰 Penguin Random House 🐧🏠📚 WaterBrook Multnomah The Joy Harris Literary Agency

Um. I'm not freaking out. Nope. Really.

(I swear I thought there was still at least a month?! But NO only 3 more weeks until my book comes out 🫣🫣)

Which means: 3 weeks left to preorder VALLEY VERIFIED and get started on your 2024 reading resolution😉 linktr.ee/kylazhao

I want to brag about my dad for a moment. A proud Palestinian man. He passed away November 9. We were raised to be humble (I think 🇵🇸 generational trauma helped with this as well lol). But my dad was a freaking boss.

I’m so happy for the whole team behind #MollysTuxedo that our book was named a 2024 “@NCTE Charlotte Huck Award for Outstanding Fiction for Children” Recommended Book. Gillian Reid was the most kind, funny, and talented collaborator one could hope for in a debut book. 1/2
