Caitlin Clark will have a picture book out this fall based on her life.

Random House Books for Young Readers announced Tuesday that "EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams" will be published Nov. 3. In rhyming verse, the WNBA star shares a message about the importance of effort and support.

Clark, whose book features illustrations by Adriana Predoi, was inspired by an inscription above the mirror that hung in her childhood bedroom: "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little EXTRA."

"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 in a statement. "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."

The 24-year-old Indiana Fever guard, widely credited with raising the profile of women's basketball, returned to action recently after injuries limited her to 13 games in 2025. She scored seven points Saturday in a preseason victory over the New York Liberty.
