Monster Seek gets a publication blurb in Publishers Weekly!

“Susan Dobinick at Astra Young Readers has acquired, in an exclusive submission, Monster Seek by Rainie Oet (l.), illustrated by Deb JJ Lee, a picture book about two children playing hide-and-seek during a thunderstorm that explores gender identity, the love between siblings, and the meaning of monstrosity. Publication is scheduled for fall 2026; Abigail Frank at GreenburgerKids represented the author, and Ed Maxwell at GreenburgerKids represented the illustrator.”

I’m thrilled to bring this into the world!
