LeBron James’ second children’s book, ‘I Am More Than,’ now available for pre-order

Former Cleveland Cavaliers superstar and best-selling children’s book author LeBron James has authored a second book, “I Am More Than,” which is now available for pre-order.

James, who grew up in Akron, spent two stints with the Cavaliers and brought the team its first NBA championship in 2016, hit No. 1 on the New York Times best seller list with his debut children’s book, “I Promise,” in conjunction with acclaimed illustrator Nina Mata.

“I Am More Than” is an empowering and inspirational picture book that shows young readers they are more than one label, trait or interest – that they accomplish anything to which they set their minds.

“It’s been incredible to see students, teachers, and families respond to ‘I Promise’ and its message of encouragement. With this next book, we want to continue inspiring kids everywhere to keep dreaming big and not let anything hold them back,” says James. “‘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.”

In addition to his on-court exploits – this past season, James became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer – James has made his mark off the court with his philanthropic pursuits. The LeBron James Family Foundation invests its time, resources and attention in the kids Akron. Infused with the Foundation’s “We Are Family” philosophy, the I PROMISE School opened its doors in Fall 2018 as a groundbreaking public school complete with a STEM-focused curriculum and emphasis on social emotional supports.

Since opening the school, the I PROMISE program has expanded to add transitional housing at the I PROMISE Village by Graduate Hotels, an affordable housing complex at I PROMISE Housing, higher education supports at the I PROMISE Institute, medical and mental health resources at the upcoming I PROMISE HealthQuarters, and job training, financial health programming, and community gathering at House Three Thirty.

The book is available for pre-sale now and available widely on April 2.
