This love letter to New York City shows Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani as he walks through all five boroughs and celebrates the people and places that make the city great.

Zohran Mamdani has walked through the streets of New York City since he was a child, and at every crosswalk, there’s something new to celebrate. From a Mets game at Citi Field to a polar bear plunge at Coney Island, the city is filled with adventures waiting to be had. This joyful picture book for ages 4–8 is inspired by his noted thirteen-mile mayoral campaign walk.


Millie von Platen is a Swedish-Korean children's book author, illustrator, and editor. Her work has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Bloomberg, New York Magazine, and New York City subway cars. In 2023, she was named a National Magazine Award Finalist for a story she wrote and illustrated for The New Yorker. Raised in London and Stockholm, she is currently based in Brooklyn, NY. Zohran Walks New York is her debut picture book. Visit millievonplaten.com.
