A book deal announcement in Publishers Weekly that reads as follows:

This young picture book series offers guidance and encouragement to build a kind and caring community, with themes ranging from first-day jitters to tattling to what makes a sincere apology. The first book will be published in summer 2026, with a book a year to follow; the author represented herself, and Alice Jin Zhang at Astound US represented the illustrator.
