First lady Jill Biden is bringing a new perspective of the White House to young readers with her upcoming children’s book Willow the White House Cat. Rather than hear from her, the book explores the Bidens’ big move from their family cat’s point of view alongside illustrations by Kate Berube. Whether you’re looking for an adorable coffee table book or gifts for expecting parents, you can officially preorder the storybook online now for $20.

Readers will follow the tabby cat as she transitions from her barn life in Pennsylvania to the big White House in Washington, D.C. Along the way, she’ll meet new people while exploring the rooms of her home as she adjusts to a different lifestyle. While her family may be busier in their new roles, the official description says “each of them always seems to have time to say hello and make her feel at home.”

Biden’s book will publish Tuesday (June 4), but Target, Amazon and Walmart have opened preorders that will help ensure you get a copy of the children’s story by the day it’s released.
