Magnolia Wu Unfolds It All 2024
Magnolia Wu Unfolds It All is a 2024 children's novel by Chanel Miller, released by Philomel Books. The story falls within middle grade fiction. Miller had long wanted to write a book for young readers. The novel came out on April 23, 2024 and features black and white illustrations.
The central figure is a Chinese American girl, the 9-year-old daughter of laundromat proprietors; she locates and hands out socks to those in need. Her Vietnamese American companion, Iris Lam, supports her efforts. The setting takes place in New York City, a place Miller drew from during her creative process.
Publishers Weekly called the book "endearing". Kirkus Reviews listed it among its "Best Books Of 2024", gave it a "GET IT" rating, and described it as "deeply heartfelt" while also being funny and "charming".
The following year, in 2025, the novel received a Newbery Honor.
