Welcome to Season 5, Episode 30! Today’s guest is Camey Yeh, an established artist who has a cute and whimsical artistic style. Her latest work is her first picture book entitled We’re Different and It’s Totally Cool, published by Crown Books for Young readers. It was released on July 22nd, 2025.

Camey is a Taiwanese American artist and author, and she was inspired to create We’re Different and It’s Totally Cool by her own childhood experiences growing up in a predominantly white town. We love the beautiful artwork that feel both classic in style while still being unique. The colors are bright and the characters choices are inviting, and we can see how this book would be engaging for everyone… including children aged 4-8 as it was intended.

In our conversation, we talk a little about Camey’s journey to being an author and illustrator, how she was inspired to create We’re Different and It’s Totally Cool, the themes of the story, how she developed her artistic style, what makes her different and totally cool, and so much more.

We’re Different and It’s Totally Cool makes a great gift for kids 4-8 and beyond. If you’re interested in more of Camey’s work, then you can follow her on instagram @tropicalspaghetti.
