I’m thrilled to announce my latest book deal with the brilliant team at @randomhousestudio and @myo.yim.drawing (a super talented artist based in Australia)! The No-Shoes Home is a story about learning to treasure family traditions. As a kid, I got annoyed sometimes about having to remove my shoes before entering my home. I was also embarrassed when I had to introduce my non-Asian friends to our no-shoes rule, which my mother upheld religiously, even when the plumber or handyman stopped by 😅 The publication date is a few years away, but I can’t wait for you to meet Mina and her hilarious friends!
For updates about this book as well as the upcoming Sora’s Seashells (May 2023), please do subscribe on my website for (very infrequent but fun) newsletters: helenakrhee.com

A really lovely Greek lunch in Malibu, despite Mr. Hungry Eyes staring at me from under the table the entire time! (Don’t worry—he swiped a few pieces of bread & cheese.) #malibucountrymart #hungrydog #malibu
Goodbye, Sempé😭 I’ve been collecting JJ Sempé’s books/posters/art since high school, and attended his gallery exhibit in Paris in the late ‘90s. I was hoping to meet him in person then, but he didn’t make his scheduled appearance that evening💔 Now that he left us last week, I guess I can only meet him in my imagination, which has always been filled with his glorious images. RIP, Monsieur Sempé❤️

Three homebodies engaging in three separate activities in the front yard. I’m reading a fun novel (Funny You Should Ask by @elissa_sussman ), @eugene_rhee is bopping to music and @sherwinfrenchie is looking for neighborhood dogs. Haven’t had a lazy weekend in a while, so being at home is wonderful ❤️ Sherwin is in the second photo, and the third photo is my view from the porch 🌸
