James Littlejohn's son has "an insatiable appetite for books," and one day as the two read and re-read books together, Littlejohn had an idea to write a children's book about something that really matters to him: basketball.
"My love for basketball goes deep," Littlejohn, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, told the Deseret News. "I worship at a church with a basketball court in the middle of it, and that’s a beautiful thing."
The book is called "B is for Baller: The Ultimate Basketball Alphabet," and introduces kids to some of the greatest players to ever play the game.
