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.

Cover of JEONG IS JEONG written by Jessica Yoon, illustrated by Michelle Lee. A young Korean American girl smiles and raises her arms looking up at images of her family and folk art of a tiger and magpie coming out of a book

My reaction to having a bunch of new people follow/like/repost my account is to immediately distrust it all and block accounts I suspect are stealing my work to feed the A.I. beast…fucking hate A.I.

I am so grateful for this honor -- TOUCH THE SKY is the first book I've written to make it into the Bank Street College of Education annual collection.

A promo post featuring the cover of the picture book TOUCH THE SKY along with its two characters, Vern and Gretchen. Gretchen is drawn in colorful colored pencils and is running happily. Vern is also drawn in colorful colored pencils and is happily leaping onto a swing. They are looking down at the cover of Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Books of the Year 2025 Edition for books published in 2024. The cover is a colorful checkerboard. The book is flanked by hand drawn gold stars and a script written THANK YOU in a blue starburst.

A Minneapolis community surrounded ICE agents, telling them to “get the fuck out”. In the thread’s videos, you can see ICE detain someone and shove people around. Great work, Minneapolis ✊. Now, @governorwalz.mn.gov what are you going to do about this?

You know how I mentioned another PB I have coming out in 3 mos? Well, the adorable ZOMBIE AND BRAIN ARE FRIENDS also comes out on 9/2! Kirkus said, "... its quirky charm will readily appeal to young monster lovers ... [a] cuddly 'Can I keep it?' tale with a silly, flesh-eating twist."

(🧵) I’m finding it really hard to share my work on social media. These days. Creating it, no problem. But for the last couple months or so I’ve only checked my socials to actively block what I suspect are accounts looking to pilfer art styles to feed the A.I beast…

Counting Petals

A room decorated in various flower themed decorations of every kind and colorm. including a wall paper, various abstract paintings of flowers on the wall, a side table painted with flowers. On top of the side table is a flower vase, a flower lamp, a rabbit holding a flower ceramic statue, a bird sitting on a flower ceramic statue, a tulip ceramic statue and then another painting of flowers. There is a single window in the room and outside looms a group of barely visible police officers in swat gear staring inside. There is a door to the right almost out of frame. A single dandelion taped across it like a lock.

I just got a public death threat from a few folks who noticed I am doing a library event to talk about my career and my books. They called me all the familiar names, then “I won’t be sad if someone shoots her in the face.” And a woman’s reply, “Right between the eyes.” I am a children’s author.
