While much of the media focuses on Elena Delle Donne recently rolling her ankle, likely sidelining her for this year’s All-Star Game—and how some even feel it was justified after her tweet directed at Lonzo Ball, EDD continues to make news in other ways.
It is now known that Delle Donne intends to release a couple of books slated for next year. One of them will be a memoir called “My Shot” and the other is titled “Elle of the Ball”—a children’s book and the first in a series of children’s books.
Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers has signed on to be the publisher for both books.
My biggest thing is children and trying to help them and tell different stories to them.
–Elena Delle Donne per the Washington Post
It’s going to be funny, because it’s very much about a tall girl in grade school that experiences life in a very tall body and that’s what I had to deal with.

Speaking of Washington Mystics and children’s books…
