Caitlin Clark's journey to WNBA stardom is set to be commemorated in a new book that will expand Clark's resume even further.
Clark is already a two-time WNBA All-Star who is NCAA basketball's leading scorer. The explosive point guard played in two national championship games as a member of the Iowa Hawkeyes, enrolling in her hometown university as a five-star recruit in the class of 2020.
Now, Clark will become a published author when her children's book, “EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams," hits shelves this fall.
“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 via statement.
“EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams” is inspired by a simple inscription, which was placed above the mirror that hung in her childhood bedroom back in Des Moines, Iowa. “The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little EXTRA," it reads.
"EXTRAordinary!" is written in rhyming verse and features illustrations from Adriana Predoi. It hits shelves on Nov. 3.
“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," Clark's statement read.
