04/28 06:01 CDT WNBA star Caitlin Clark to publish a children's book based on
her life
WNBA star Caitlin Clark to publish a children's book based on her life
By HILLEL ITALIE
AP National Writer
NEW YORK (AP) --- Caitlin Clark will have a picture book out this fall based on
her own life, one she knows is like few others'.
Random House Books for Young Readers announced Tuesday that "EXTRAordinary! A
Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams" will be published Nov. 3. In rhyming verse,
the WNBA star shares a message about the importance of effort and support.
Clark, whose book features illustrations by Adriana Predoi, was inspired by an
inscription above the mirror that hung in her childhood bedroom: "The
difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little EXTRA."
"Basketball has given me so many incredible opportunities, but what has always
meant the most to me are the people who've supported me along the way," Clark
said in a statement. "I hope this book reminds kids that they're never alone in
chasing their dreams and that giving a little extra to the people and moments
is what makes them EXTRAordinary."
The 24-year-old Indiana Fever guard, widely credited with raising the profile
of women's basketball, returned to action recently after injuries limited her
to 13 games in 2025. She scored seven points Saturday in a preseason victory
over the New York Liberty.
