My book, Swing! is finally out! It’s a story about a young Korean girl in the 1970's who loves tennis and whose heroes are her dad and Arthur Ashe. I bet she's a huge fan of Alexandra Eala today 🎾 Available where books are sold by @yangblog

When I first signed with @vikingbooks my dream was to create books that I would have read as child and look great together as a collection. I'm so happy Viking gave me the chance and my newest book, Swing!, will be out August 4th. Hopefully I'll get to keep adding more books to the shelf. by @yangblog

Figuring out what to wear as Quizmaster tonight for House of Speakeasy and The New Yorker Magazine's Seriously Entertaining: Cover to Cover. New Yorker artists will be telling stories about their experiences working with the New Yorker and I will be doing THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE SHOW as quizmaster. My friends, @anitakunz and Barry Blitt will be speaking tonight too! Please God, let me find shoes that go with my pants. by @yangblog

If you’re having US Open hangover, check out Swing! It’s about a young girl in the 70’s who loves tennis and her heroes are her dad and Authur Ashe. Maybe dad and Ashe can help her with her emotions on the court. Available where books are sold. by @yangblog

Have you been Opening? Cuz we've been Opening...! In fact, this has been one of the more memorable US Opens in recent history—and certainly the most exciting of this year's Majors (in our unhumble opinion). To celebrate, tennis aficionado and creative wiz @yangblog will pop in on Sunday to sign copies of his beautiful new kids book "Swing!" which tells the story of a mid-western girl who grows up emulating Arthur Ashe's style, on and off the court! So SWING by on Sunday round 1:30 to meet a wonderful author/illustrator and pick up a personalized copy just in time for #USOpen finals. taken in Taylor & Co. Books by @yangblog
