Overview
From New York Knicks captain, NBA All-Star, and NBA Champion Jalen Brunson comes an inspiring children's book about trying new things, working hard, and discovering your strengths.
Jalen Brunson is one of the NBA’s brightest stars, known for his leadership, resilience, and relentless work ethic. Fresh off leading the New York Knicks to an NBA Championship, Jalen has become one of the most respected players in basketball. But before the sold-out arenas, championship celebrations, and All-Star appearances, Jalen was simply a kid who loved to compete and was willing to try anything.
In his first-ever picture book, Jalen takes readers on a journey through his childhood, from swimming and football to baseball, tennis, and beyond, in his own words. Along the way, he discovers that success doesn’t happen overnight. There are mistakes, setbacks, and moments when giving up feels easier than pushing forward. But with every new experience, Jalen learns valuable lessons about discipline, confidence, teamwork, and perseverance.
While basketball was always at the center of Jalen’s journey, every sport he played helped build the habits, character, and work ethic that would one day help him become a champion.
Filled with encouragement, heart, and an inspiring message about growth, effort, and believing in yourself, Jalen Plays It All reminds young readers that they don’t have to have everything figured out right away. Sometimes the journey to finding your thing is where the most important lessons are learned.
