My brother was born with Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare disease of which the defining, most life-limiting symptom is hyperphagia, the feeling of extreme hunger and never, ever feeling full. But now the FDA has approved a drug developed by Soleno (Vykat XR) to treat hyperphagia in people with PWS!!

I'm so grateful that the talented and inspiring writer, Francisco Stork, read and liked my book. What an honor! I hope you and the kids in your life like it, too. Please pre-order online or through your favorite independent bookstore. Can't wait until May!!!

Wow! Charlesbridge Publishing did an amazing job on the cover of my book for kids, THE ZUZU SECRET, coming out in May. Absolutely stunning! I'm so grateful for the care and attention to detail paid by the illustrator, the design team and my editor, Karen Boss!

Hi Bluesky friends! My debut, THE ZUZU SECRET, for kids 8-12, will be out in May 2025. Feel free to pre-order it here: linktr.ee/miriam.chern....

It's a fast-paced sibling story inspired by my experience growing up with an older brother with a rare disease called Prader-Willi syndrome. Can't wait!

This is Miso. He’s a sweet cat but very vocal. And he likes to lie on my warm keyboard.
