Caitlin Clark is releasing a children's book based on her life story titled 'EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams!'

Clark's chosen title is a nod to the phrase decorating a wall in her childhood bedroom that read: 'The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little EXTRA.'

The 32-page rhyming picture book is set to be released on Nov. 3 in time for holiday giving. With a list price of $19.99, the book is available for pre-order from retailers that include Barnes & Noble, Amazon and Target. It also will be sold as an audiobook by publisher Penguin/Random House.

Suggested ages for the book are 4 to 8.

A third-year guard for the Indiana Fever, Clark rose to prominence during a prolific college career at Iowa, chasing down the all-time scoring record in Division I college basketball and leading the Hawkeyes to the Final Four twice. She was the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft in 2024 and has multiple high-paying endorsement deals. As part of her contract with Nike worth $28 million, Clark has a signature shoe and apparel line.

Clark said the book is also a reminder to cherish the ones you love and not to forget to include yourself in that group.

The book reads: 'I look in the mirror, and what do I see? A special reminder to be the best me.'

Adriana Predoi illustrated the book. The London-based artist grew up in Romania.
