ABOUT ONE IN A MILLENNIAL
Kate’s latest book, One in a Millennial, debuted as a NY Times bestseller, USA Today bestseller, and Indie bestseller.
One in a Millennial is an exploration of pop culture, nostalgia, the millennial zeitgeist, and the life lessons learned (for better and for worse) from coming of age as a member of a much-maligned generation.
Kate is a pop culture commentator and host of the popular millennial-focused podcast Be There in Five. Part-funny, part-serious, Kate navigates the complicated nature of celebrating and criticizing the culture that shaped her as a woman, while arguing that great depths can come from surface-level interests.
With her trademark style and vulnerability, One In a Millennial is sharp, hilarious, and heartwarming all at once. She tackles AOL Instant Messenger, purity culture, American Girl Dolls, going out tops, Spice Girl feminism, her feelings about millennial motherhood, and more. Kate’s laugh-out-loud asides and keen observations will have you nodding your head and maybe even tearing up.
Twinkle, Twinkle, SOcial Media Star
A NURSERY RHYME FOR THE DIGITAL AGE
BY KATE KENNEDY // ILLUSTRATED BY TORIE CONN
Once upon a timeline, there was a mama bear who wanted to teach her baby bear how to achieve social media #GOALS. But instead of a traditional bedtime story, this modern mama reaches for her phone and tells tales of fame, fortune and followers through the social media accounts of beloved nursery rhyme characters. Baby bear discovers the good, the bad and the “cringey,” as mama bear double taps on:
• @LittleBoPeep’s crowdfunding campaign for her lost sheep
• @HumptyDumpty’s #EPICFAIL falling-off-wall vlogs
• @LittleMissMuffett’s sponsored curds and whey protein
• And many more!
Twinkle, Twinkle, Social Media Star is an irreverent, self aware and ultimately heartwarming poem for adults. From sponsored posts and crowdfunding to telling people how to vote and what to post, this book satirically explores how a parent might explain the hilarious world of internet fame to a child.
