      Chinese-Icelandic singer-songwriter Laufey will be releasing a children's book next year.

      The jazz-influenced vocalist has garnered a massive following online, with her latest album ‘A Matter Of Time’ released this summer.

      Receiving critical acclaim, Laufey has expanded her musical horizons, creating a vibrant and innovative alt-pop sound.

      An avid reader, Laufey has announced plans to launch a children's book next Spring. Scheduled for April 26th through Penguin Random House, Mei Mei The Bunny appears to be a charming story – it follows a young bunny with dreams of spreading joy through her music, but as her first performance nears, she encounters some obstacles.

      Laufey expresses…

      “I’m thrilled to finally share Mei Mei The Bunny in storybook form! Mei Mei has been part of my life for the past few years, and exploring her world has been a beautiful journey. I hope that individuals of all ages can discover something in Mei Mei’s story that inspires them and connects them with the people in their lives.”

      Dublin-based illustrator Lauren O’Hara has been engaged to provide illustrations for the book, which is currently available for pre-order.

      Nicholas Magliato, Executive Editor at Penguin Workshop, commented:

      “Collaborating with Laufey has been an absolute pleasure. Her talent for creating magic through music translates wonderfully into storytelling, and her commitment to young people through The Laufey Foundation makes her an ideal match for Penguin Workshop. Mei Mei The Bunny encapsulates something truly special about finding one’s voice after making mistakes—themes that will resonate with both children and parents. I am confident readers will adore Mei Mei just as Laufey’s fans already do.”
