Nicole Chen

I'm so thrilled to reveal the cover of my next middle grade novel, LILY XIAO SPEAKS OUT! A huge thank you to Jody Tseng (@jodytsengart), the wonderful illustrator, and Celeste Knudsen (@ckrisply), the amazing designer, for capturing Lily's spirit in this fantastic cover!

@TinaMCho @scbwi Yay, so nice to hear!

@scbwi @nychen Congrats, Nicole. My class loved this book.

Yay!! Hope to meet some BOBA TIME readers in Austin in two weeks!

I'm so excited for you all to meet Lily, for the adult readers to relive the 90s, and for the young readers to embrace their own inner rockers and get inspired to speak out when they see something that needs changing—and demand it!

LILY XIAO SPEAKS OUT will be on bookshelves May 7, 2024, from @QuillTreeBooks /@harperkids, edited by the wonderful @JenPanda ! You can preorder already, and check out HarperCollins website for access to all the major retailers: harpercollins.com/products/lily-…
