Coming Soon! TEENY & TILLY

From actress Beanie Feldstein (Booksmart) comes brand new friendship picture book, Teeny & Tilly. Illustrationed by Laura Watkins, and published by Philomel, an imprint of Penguin US. This sweet story hits shelves on May 19, 2026, with pre-orders available until then.

Teeny is starting at a new school, and boy, is she nervous. At her last school, the kids weren’t so nice to her—they called her names and made fun of her for being short. And she just knows that, as always, she’ll be the teensiest kid in her class here too.

So when she meets Tilly, the tallest kid she’s ever seen, the knots in her stomach only grow. Will this new classmate make her feel too tiny all over again? With lots of courage and some help from the class pet, Poppy, Teeny finds out that a little bit of kindness is all she needs to find a new best friend.
