Introducing “Kiki & Jax,” my upcoming children’s picture book co-written and illustrated by @salinayoon.

The book follows the story of two very different friends: Kiki, who is a collector, and Jax, a sorter.

"The one thing they always agree on is how much fun they have together. But when things start to get in the way, can they make room for what has always sparked joy -- each other?" details the plot outline.

Kondo collaborated with co-writer and illustrator Salina Yoon for "Kiki & Jax: The Life-Changing Magic of Friendship."

"Kiki & Jax: The Life-Changing Magic of Friendship" will be the latest addition to Kondo's bibliography, which includes her 2011 best-seller "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up."

The self-help book centers on the organizational technique "KonMari Method," which advises readers to keep belongings that spark joy while getting rid of those that don't.

Kondo's philosophy was popularized earlier this year by Netflix's series "Tidying Up With Marie Kondo," in which she helped several families to organize their homes.

"Kiki & Jax: The Life-Changing Magic of Friendship" will hit bookshelves on November 5. It is already available for preorder.
