Casey Lyall tweeted "I wrote a graphic novel! This book has been bonkers fun to work on (and the fun isn't over yet!) You're all going to flip over @ken_niimura's amazing art. Thrilled to be working with @MarthaMihalick and @GreenwillowBook again and big thanks to @mollykh! Can't wait for 2025!

Ken Niimura added "Can't wait to show what @CKLyall and I are working on! Coming out in 2025, through @GreenwillowBook, thanks to @MarthaMihalick & @chadwbecks! Hoping to make a book that young siblings all over the world can relate to (despite being an oldest sibling myself)!"
