Published in November 2026
Caitlin Clark’s new book is titled “EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams.” It is the first official book authored by the star herself, in collaboration with the renowned publisher Random House Children’s Books and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA).
Caitlin Clark announced that this book is not just a commercial project; rather, she will be donating all of her personal proceeds and profits from sales to the “Caitlin Clark Foundation,” which focuses on improving children’s lives and advancing education and sports in underserved communities.
Book Concept and Story
Childhood Motto
The concept of the book is entirely built upon a small wooden plaque that hung in Caitlin’s bedroom throughout her childhood, which read: “The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.”
The Content
Caitlin takes young readers on an inspiring journey based on her personal experience, showing them that success does not require superhuman abilities. Instead, it requires small, extra steps every day, such as staying a few extra minutes to practice, offering extra help to a friend, or showing extra kindness toward others.
Focus on Collectivity
The book does not solely focus on her personal glory; rather, it strongly emphasizes the importance of family, friends, teachers, and teamwork as a fundamental pillar for achieving any dream.
Design and Target Audience
Target Age: The book is directed at children aged 4 to 8 years old (and is highly suitable as a bedtime story to read to children).
Literary Style: The story is written entirely in a rhyming text format, making it easy for children to memorize and repeat.
Illustrations: The book’s artwork was illustrated by artist Adriana Predoi, and the drawings feature bright, dynamic colors that reflect the vibrancy of the courts and the enthusiasm of childhood.
