KATSEYE is currently in the middle of their 2026 “ Wildworld Tour ,” and while there were only four members on the stage for opening night, a new book release could have fans hoping for the original sextet to get back together again. Publishers Penguin Workshop has unveiled a first look at Katseye: A Who HQ Illustrated Biography , a new children’s book that tells the story of the girl group’s rise to fame. NEW RELEASE Katseye: A Who HQ Illustrated Biography Releases March 2027 $8.99 Buy Now On Amazon Available for preorder now on Amazon, the 40-page picture book follows the girls from auditioning for HYBE to releasing their first album and heading out on tour. The easy-to-read-text from children’s author (and K-pop fan) Ruqayyah Daud is accompanied by full-color illustrations by Romanian illustrator Alexandra Badiu. Perhaps most telling of all, the book cover features images of all six girls in KATSEYE — including Manon, who announced a temporary hiatus from the group in February 2026. Sophia, who announced a break in August to prioritize her “mental health and wellness,” is also featured on the cover, though that is perhaps less surprising, as she had participated in all the group releases and activities up until the start of their latest tour. Of course it’s not clear when author Daud first started working on the book — some manuscripts take over a year to be approved, so it’s conceivable that she wrote the text before Manon’s hiatus. In fact, the KATSEYE picture book begins with the girl group announcing their first-ever tour , which featured a string of North American dates last fall, with all six members on stage together. This book is scheduled for a March 2027 release. The girl group posted a social media message saying Sophia would “not be participating in the Wildworld Tour in Europe and the UK,” which was scheduled from Sept. 1 through Sept. 17. Fans are no doubt hoping she’ll return for the North American leg of the tour. The KATSEYE children’s biography is the latest release from the Who HQ series , which has also featured kid-friendly books on everyone from Harry Styles and Zendaya to Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny.
