In 2021, Chasten and husband Pete Buttigieg welcomed newborn twins. They searched for books with families that looked like theirs but came up short. Chasten—a teaching artist and author of the New York Times bestselling memoir I Have Something to Tell You—decided to create their own. In the delightfully illustrated children’s book Papa’s Coming Home, two twins work with Daddy to welcome Papa home from his trip. They pick flowers, bake a cake, and pack the car with everything Papa might have missed. But when Papa’s plane lands, one question emerges: where in the car will Papa sit?
