While promoting her book, \"Kiki & Jax: The Life-Changing Magic of Friendship\" in 2019, the organizing expert discussed how having her daughters inspired her to write a children's book.

\"I was thinking about how I could teach my daughters how to tidy, and I noticed that they loved books,\" she told HuffPost. \"They always wanted to mimic what they learned in books, so I thought, 'Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could somehow use books to teach them how to tidy?'\"

Kondo has also written four books on organizing, including the bestselling 2010 guide, \"The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.\"
