SPARKING JOY WITH WORDS

- Melissa Hank

Marie Kondo, the pint-sized paragon of tidiness, is releasing a children’s book. Available for pre-order now, the 40-page text incorporat­es her KonMari organizati­onal method and is aimed at readers aged three to seven.

Kiki & Jax: The Life-Changing Magic of Friendship centres on the titular characters — one a collector, and the other a sorter.

Although the two enjoy playing together, Kiki’s tchotchkes start getting in the way.

Reads the descriptio­n: “They have to figure out how to make room for what’s always sparked joy — their friendship.”

Kondo, who has two young children, announced the book on Instagram.

The book is illustrate­d by Salina Yoon, who’s known for her Penguin and Bear books. It’s scheduled for release Nov. 5.
