    Karlie Kloss is set to release a new children's book

    The 33-year-old model has announced that she's launching her debut picture book, Spaghetti Code: A Story About Problem-Solving, Pasta, and the Power of Big Ideas, in 2026.


    Karlie - who has co-written her new book with Vicky Fang - wrote on Instagram: "I'm so excited to share something I've been working on with the incredible @remijoose...my debut children's book, SPAGHETTI CODE! [spaghetti and heart emojis]

    "Inspired by the brilliant young minds I've met through @kodewithklossy, it's a joyful story about pasta, problem-solving, and the power of big ideas-especially for girls in STEM.

    "SPAGHETTI CODE comes out July 28, 2026, but preorders are officially live today at the link in bio! @mackidsbooks (sic)"

    Spaghetti Code is the first book in Karlie's five-book deal with Macmillan. The model's book series will focus on coding and technology.

    Karlie - who is well know for her advocacy for young people in STEM subjects - explained: "In a world increasingly driven by technology, I hope stories like Spaghetti Code will help make coding accessible for kids, especially young girls.

    "Through Kelly Kent's adventures, readers will learn that coding isn't just a skill, it's an opportunity to be creative, solve problems and have fun. I can't wait to see what the next generation will create with tech tools."

    Spaghetti Code has been teased as a "joyful tale perfect for future engineers and technology change-makers".

    The book's description reads: "The story follows Kelly Kent, who loves spaghetti and computer programming, as she helps her neighbour Chef Amato build a pasta-making machine for his new restaurant.

    "But when the Chef can't stop adding features to her coding machine, they end up in a tangle of 'spaghetti code.'

    "Kelly must unravel the code and help Chef concoct the perfect spaghetti - with a little help from the reader."

    Spaghetti Code will hit shelves in the US on July 28, 2026, but the book is already available to pre-order.
