LeBron James, the thirty-eight-year-old NBA Laker powerhouse, has announced that he is set to release another children’s book in April 2024. The book, titled “I Am More Than,” will be James’ second illustrative literature project, following the 2020 success of his first book, “I Promise.”
James will be partnering up with illustrator Niña Mata for his second book, just as he did for “I Promise.” In a press release, James said “’I Am More Than’ is about believing in yourself and all the amazing things you’re capable of, which no one else can define for you. I hope everyone that reads it feels inspired to be ‘more than’ in everything they do.” The book’s cover, which displays three smiling children of different skin tones holding up the book title in a bright illustration, furthers this message.
James and Mata hope that the book will “continue inspiring kids everywhere to keep dreaming big and not let anything hold them back.” The press release described the book as an “empowering and inspirational picture book that shows young readers they are more than one label, trait, or interest – that they can do anything they set their minds to.”
The book’s executive editor, Luana Horry, was confident that the book would be a success, especially following the wide-reaching impact of “I Promise.” Horry said the book “will undoubtedly inspire the next generation of leaders to be all they dream to be…and more.”
At the same time, Harper Collins Publishers announced that they’d be with the James Foundation for a two-book guaranteed deal. The NBA announced the Los Angeles Lakers’ schedule earlier this year. James and the Lakers will begin their season on October 24, by playing against the Nuggets in Denver, Colorado.
“I Am More Than” is set to be released on April 2, and it is sure to be a hit. With the success of “I Promise,” James and Mata have set a high standard for the book. We can only expect great things from this dynamic duo.
