Laufey’s imaginative songwriting skill set has earned her a Grammy Award. Now, the “Lover Girl” singer will unleash her pen in the literary world.
After curating an active online book club, next spring, Laufey’s debut work will hit shelves. Inspired by her mascot-alias, Mei Mei The Bunny, Laufey is ready to examine the adorable character’s fluffy world further.
The picture book, which is illustrated by Lauren O’Hara, documents Mei Mei’s tumultuous journey to become a professional musician.
In a statement, Laufey gushed about the forthcoming book. “I’m so excited to now share Mei Mei The Bunny in storybook form,” said Laufey. “Mei Mei has been a part of my life for the last few years, and opening up the world around her has been the most beautiful exploration.”
She continued: “I hope that anyone at any age can find something in Mei Mei’s story that inspires them and connects them to the people in their lives.”
Over on the publisher’s (Penguin Workshop) official website, the book’s synopsis reads: “Mei Mei is a little bunny with a big dream. She wants to make the world happy with her music! Her first recital at the H’Opera House is approaching, and she’s been practicing harder than any bunny ever has. But the butterflies in her stomach flit and flutter. When Mei Mei plays the wrong note in front of everyone, will she be able to find the melody to make it right?”
Laufey’s book Mei Mei The Bunny will be published and available via hardcover, e-book, and audiobook on April 21, 2026, via Penguin Workshop. Click here to pre-order. View the official cover below.
