Jayson Tatum is an All-Star who is currently leading The Boston Celtics to the best record in the NBA.

Well you can now add published picture book author to his list of accomplishments as he is co-authoring a picture book with author Sam Apple, and illustrator Parker-Nia Gordon called “Baby Dunks-a-Lot: A Picture Book.”

Here is the official summary: “When a big kid teaches his little brother how to play basketball for the first time, something unusual happens . . . baby bro flies through the air for a monster dunk! Before long, every professional team wants the incredible dunking baby on their roster. Baby Dunks-A-Lot is poised to become a basketball legend—that is, until he misses his bedtime.

This new career turn should not be too surprising to Tatum fans as he is known as the dad of Jayson Tatum Jr. better known as Deuce. Deuce is Tatum’s young son who has been a fixture at Celtics games in the crowd, on the court, and in the locker room.

In his Twitter, Tatum says “Deuce and I read together all the time, so this is something I’ve loved working on. Hope yall laugh at this one with us 🤣🤣” source: https://x.com/jaytatum0/status/1768091765620531373?s=46
