We've hit the three-quarter mark of our 2026/27 planner cover reveals, not many left to go now! Here's number twelve and you might just want to find quiet, peaceful spot to fully appreciate this one...
Whispering Zhu
Simple but stunning, here’s Whispering Zhu 🎋
Designed by Su Yao, this monochrome bamboo cover is beautifully understated and perfect for anyone who wants a pattern that isn’t too loud.
The planner itself will be available in both A4 and B5 sizes and features a black spiral, matching black corner protectors, a black elastic and black foiling. Of course, you’ll also be able to coordinate your planner with matching Whispering Zhu accessories, including an A4 notebook, A5 planner notebook, to-do list pad, sticky notes, washi tape and a lanyard.
About the Artist – Su Yao
It’s a standing joke that Rachel can’t go anywhere without spotting cover design inspiration and discovering Su was proof of that. During a summer visit to Roundhay Food Festival, Rachel’s daughter, Robyn, spotted Su’s work. As a huge panda fan, Robyn begged Rachel to buy everything Su had created featuring a panda!
Rachel quickly fell in love with Su’s style and asked her if she’d like to join our design line-up this year… and we’re pretty sure you can guess what her answer was!
Su is another new artist to TPTC and we think many of you will love her calming, creative style. We know lots of you adore a monochrome colour palette with a simple yet beautiful pattern, so this could be #THEONE for you!
