\n\tSome big dreams start with a little extra. <\/p>\n

\n\tEXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams marks Caitlin Clark<\/a>\u2019s first children\u2019s book. The basketball player wrote the rhyming picture book herself, with illustrations by Romanian artist Adriana Predoi. Published Nov. 3, her debut has already climbed to the Number One bestseller spot on Amazon and is aimed at readers ages four to eight. The book turns a message rooted in Clark\u2019s own childhood into an upbeat story for young readers.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe sentiment behind EXTRAordinary relates to a mirror in Clark\u2019s childhood bedroom. As the Indiana Fever guard<\/a> told NBC\u2019s Today<\/a> on the day of its release, before she was born, her parents had a mirror made with the words, \u201cThe difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little EXTRA.\u201d That message became a personal reminder to put extra effort into pursuing her dreams and career as a pro basketball player.<\/p>\n

\n\tClark also noted how far women\u2019s sports<\/a> have come, pointing to new WNBA teams, nationally televised coverage of women\u2019s sports<\/a>, and a growing inventory of WNBA signature sneakers<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re just scratching the surface,\u201d said Clark.<\/p>\n

\n\tEXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams gives readers a closer look at the values Clark credits with helping her succeed beyond basketball. Rather than focusing solely on athletic achievements, the book celebrates the importance of family, friendships, and teammates. And its rhyming format and colorful illustrations make the message accessible to younger children. The central takeaway is that pursuing big ambitions matters, but so does appreciating the people who help make those dreams possible.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe book cover also features a few Easter eggs on the jerseys for fans to discover. Each jersey number has a connection to Clark\u2019s life, representing her familiar basketball number (22), her father\u2019s college jersey number (6), the number she wore during high school (11), and her Team USA tryout number (17).<\/p>\n
